The change proposed on #352 was to use 'gzip -1' for "uncompressed" spkgs, which for me at least operates instantly, i.e. without noticable speed penalty. (I also tried the Fortran spkg, which is the only uncompressed standard spkg we currently have, and it's about 33 MB, i.e. amongst the largest spkgs we have. The difference between 'tar xOf ... >/dev/ null' and 'tar xOzf ... >/dev/null' is in tenth of seconds on an already fully loaded machine. Creation / compressing is similarly fast.) -leif -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
