Bob and I are having a little conversation on a pull request about what the
default compression level should be in the WiX toolset:
https://github.com/robmen/wix4/commit/edf0a4cc32992d918846631fe7a2338bbf700c08#commitcomment-8206079
Historically, we used mszip which I *thought* was generally derided in this day
and age in favor of LZX (low, medium, high). I'd be happy to be wrong about
that.
My thinking was by default we should opt for the best compression. Of course,
that means the slowest build times. There are reasonable was to control
compression (WIX_COMPRESSION_LEVEL env var and -dcl switch) to override that,
say to set it to "none" on build machines. One thought is to set "-dcl" to
"none" in Debug builds by default?
Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions? What do people think we should default the
compression level to in WiX v4.0 (since we can change it now).
Thoughts?
