Hi,
>> Also, it's now xz compressed, which I anticipated is something >> Gianfranco might hassle me about if I didn't enable haha.> > >If you're not uploading a new upstream version you can't change the >tarball compression (unless you're changing the source package name, >which I don't recommend, per our discussion on IRC). well, if there aren't code changes in the tarball (a.k.a. new releases) having another tarball around, with no added content (except for a reduced size), seems to increase the overall entropy. Note: the tarball is usually not downloaded by the end users, so a better compression might be beneficial for people who build from source, or for people who archive-rebuild or similar. (also sponsors yeah). But having a ~20% less heavier size, and a 100% tarball duplication is worse than keeping the old one around (to be honest, I changed the virtualbox-guest-additions-iso tarball from gz to xz only a few days ago, and I won't upload the new tarball until a new release is out) (don't look at my packages, I'm pesty with other people but my packages are far from being perfect) Gianfranco
