Package: chromium-browser Version: 20.0.1132.21~r139451-1 Severity: wishlist
Hi, chromium-browser orig.tar file in source package is compressed with bzip2 and its size seems to be huge (510MB), so I suggest to use xz insead of bzip2. Test) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. check compressed size $ du -k chromium-browser_20.0.1132.21~r139451.orig.tar.bz2 510532 chromium-browser_20.0.1132.21~r139451.orig.tar.bz2 $ bzip2 -d chromium-browser_20.0.1132.21~r139451.orig.tar.bz2 $ time xz -9e chromium-browser_20.0.1132.21~r139451.orig.tar real 22m3.071s user 21m37.881s sys 0m20.085s $ du -k chromium-browser_20.0.1132.21~r139451.orig.tar.xz 394160 chromium-browser_20.0.1132.21~r139451.orig.tar.xz 2. compare extract time $ time bzip2 -d chromium-browser_20.0.1132.21~r139451.orig.tar.bz2 real 1m5.802s user 1m1.260s sys 0m2.240s $ time xz -d chromium-browser_20.0.1132.21~r139451.orig.tar.xz real 0m48.134s user 0m24.342s sys 0m2.328s result) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 523MB(bzip2) -> 385MB(xz) = 138 MB reducing approximately 130MB with no performance reduction when it is uncompressed, isn't it enough? Please consider to use xz with next new upstream release. -- Regards, Hideki Yamane henrich @ debian.or.jp/org http://wiki.debian.org/HidekiYamane -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
