Hello Alexandre, thanks for maintaining linux-libre. Did you think about distributing lzip compressed tarballs (in addition to tar.bz2)?
Lzipped tarballs of linux-2.6.XX-libre are about 9MB (17%) smaller than bzip2ed ones. This is almost one hour less of download time for narrowband connected people like me. Lzip is stable and free as in freedom (GPLv3 or later). http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html > You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Of course all my projects are released as lzip compressed tarballs! https://savannah.nongnu.org/users/antonio Best regards, Antonio Diaz. _______________________________________________ linux-libre mailing list [email protected] http://www.fsfla.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-libre
