The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=14519 ====================================================================== Reported By: Ken Phillis Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 14519 Category: CMake Reproducibility: N/A Severity: feature Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2013-10-29 01:26 EDT Last Modified: 2013-10-29 01:26 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: 7z ( LZMA and LZMA2) support for cpack Description: The only option for windows ( zip ) is useless because it uses a compression mechanism that does not shrink the files nearly enough for reasonable hosting.
An Example of this is that win32 (using approximate size) is 693mb uncompressed, 158mb compressed and with the lzma2 (7z) method it winds up being 28mb compressed. A win64 (also using approximate size) is about 785mb uncompressed, 229mb compressed ( zip), and 79mb using the lzma2 ( 7z ) format. Either way, the compression ratio clearly shows that the compression can be vastly improved because of the fact that there is over 130mb difference in the zip to lzma2 compression. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2013-10-29 01:26 Ken Phillis New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
