[Rd] FYI: daily R source tarballs from ETH: *.xz instead of *.bz2)
A quick notice for anyone who uses cron-like scripts to get R source tarballs from the ETH R/daily/ s: I've finally switched to replace *.bz2 by *.xz which does save quite a bit of bandwidth. Currently, you can see the 2 day old *.bz2 (and their sizes) and compare with the new *.xz one (sorted newest first): https://stat.ethz.ch/R/daily/?C=M;O=D Best, Martin

Hi Martin, Sounds good. Are there any plans to support the xz compression for package source tarballs? Thanks, H.
