Hi!
I'm thinking of changing the BibleTime source code packaging format
from .tar.bz2 to .tar.xz which provides about 40% size reduction for
the source code (approx. 5.6 MB -> 3.2 MB)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xz
Xz archives can be uncompressed using xz-utils ("unxz <filename.xz>")
and latest versions of GNU tar ("tar -xJf <filename.tar.xz>" or using
the --xz flag). Not all older platforms support the XZ file format.
It would also be an option to release both .tar.bz2 and .tar.xz source
packages.
My question to developers and packagers is: does anybody have good
objections against moving to .tar.xz only?
Blessings!
Jaak
