Hi, the 7-Zip archiver has recently become very popular because of its good compression rate; f.e. recent snapshot is about 34% smaller when packed with 7z compared to tar.gz:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2484981 Jan 5 17:28 openssl-SNAP-20080105.7z -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3781438 Jan 5 17:27 openssl-SNAP-20080105.tar.gz For Linux there's a 7za source and binary commandline available from here: http://p7zip.sourceforge.net/ The Win32 GUI and commandline version is available from here: http://www.7-zip.org/ I dont want to propose here to just replace tar.gz with 7z, but I think it would be cool if we could have most recent snapshot additionally in 7z format.
