DO NOT REPLY [Bug 6839] New: more dont compress entries
...ReportedBy: karl at freefriends.org
QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org
I'd like to suggest adding more entries to the default dont compress list
(DEFAULT_DONT_COMPRESS in loadparm.c), namely:
.xz .txz (http://tukaani.org/xz/, new fmt replacing lzma and 7zip)
.lz .tlz (http://lzip.nongnu.org, another fmt along those lines)
xz is being used in rpm payloads these days, among other places.
It compresses better than bz2 and typically decompresses at about the speed of
gz. (For that matter, I also suggest distributing rsync as a .tar.xz. :)
On another front, I don't think...
