Hi,
I wonder if it's still necessary to provide .tar.bz2 and .tgz source tarballs. If anything, it would be nice to provide .tar.xz in addition to .tar.bz2, which has a nicer compression ratio:
.tgz - 13 MB .tar.bz2 - 11 MB .tar.xz - 8.6 MB It is likely that many non-GNU based platforms, such as commercial Unices, don't know about xz yet (not to mention old Debian / RHEL machines). So I would vote to continue providing .tar.bz2 and/or .tgz tarballs. Providing XZ files *IN ADDITION* to gz/bz2 will increase the mindshare for the format. I am checking the webpage and installing the XZ tools just now :-).
That's not *our* job though.
Michael
