I had to have a little think about this, we've used gzip for many years; I cannot remember NOT using it so it must of been a while. For reference, the gzip versus xz compression was discussed in debian-devel at https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/08/msg00746.html The consensus appears to be that xz gives superior results with the only objections being orthogonal to should xz be the default (ie don't drop bz2 support) or the usual complain with compression (if I compress X it comes out worse, with different X for different compressors). Thanks for your patch, I will be including it in the next dh-make package which will be released shortly. That means from 0.62 dh-make will use xz as its default compression. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ http://enc.com.au/ csmall at : enc.com.au Debian GNU/Linux http://www.debian.org/ csmall at : debian.org GPG fingerprint: 5D2F B320 B825 D939 04D2 0519 3938 F96B DF50 FEA5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
