Have you considered to use sourceforge as alternative?.

Why? Lzip can compress more than xz with a bit of tuning via --options. And it is not forcing users to possess a lot of memory to decompress .xz. Lzip was designed for long-term archiving, having a tool to recover corrupt files. Ideal for linux-libre, especially because it is under the GPL. > [..] Regards, Matias _______________________________________________ linux-libre mailing list [email protected] http://www.fsfla.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-libre
