I hope this does not imply or infer that all the source tarball for
GNOME will be uploaded in .xz format only. Solaris is *not* supporting

Hello Olav,
What is the reasoning behind this move? Just storage savings? It seems
to me that it will actually be easier to request our sponsors
(RedHat/Novell/Oracle...) for more storage than pushing everyone into

For xz:
1) Much faster download
2) Much smaller
3) Doesn't use a lot of memory when decompressing (9MB)
