If I recall correctly, the only compression technique accepted in ODF packages is DEFLATE and none (STORED). DEFLATE is *required* on all encryptable files in a package when ODF encryption is applied.
Snappy looks very interesting though. Thanks Pedro, - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Pedro F.

(OOo issue 19203) Hello; I was just reviewing some issues in OpenOffice.org's bugzilla and I came up issue 19203, which appears to be more related to ODF. The original issue reads: "use LZO archives (*very* fast zip (de-)compression) for OOo files" As I pointed out there, the license in LZO is not acceptable but instead Google has released "snappy", a faster compression algorithm that is implemented in C++ with a native Java version available: http://code.google.com/p/snappy/ I thought you might want to see if it would be a desirable item for future ODF versions. I know some people in this list are also committers in OOo so feel free to close that issue if there is no interest. cheers, Pedro.
