First: no, that is not true. We will store the upstream tarball as bz2 on the Community OBS anyway due to the debian tools and technology on the community OBS what we have. Second: premature disk space optimization is not a problem for us, but the RAM usage is. The small size has a price. Thirdly: The conversion is very slow in scratchbox which the developers use locally and also on the build server. Fourthly: I have not said xz would not be good, if it was as common as bz2 which is not right now among certain people. Moreover, we have an open process for discussing development related issues on the development mailing list, and I would personally propose to have that for the release process as well. I am sorry, but I cannot (and do not wish) hang around IRC all the day along, and filter for gerrit is suboptimal for community discussions. You could say the same for the development related topic, you just need to follow Gerrit, but this is not how the community decided back then about that process. I like the community decision about this very much, and I would like to see the same happening about the releases. Laszlo
