Description
With the fact that Coreutils is now exclucevly in XZ format, one of the things we can do is to offer all packages that can be in XZ/LZMA in that format.
I know it's not crucial, but I think it should be done before 7.0 releases. I mean, smaller packages reduce download time and disk space usage, making them better.
I will provide a patch to make those changes ASAP.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
We can use xz packages as new releases become available, but we are not going to make wholesale changes.
