Good: zlib (as used @rpm5.org) is --rsyncable (and afaik LZMA/XZ is not). If both the remote/local packages are --rsyncable, then you SHOULD see larger bandwidth reductions than available with XZ compression and no --rsyncable afaik. The savings is a difficult measurement however, harder than just comparing file sizes. 73 de Jeff _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
