So 7zip seems to be the best overall, but if you have big<br>text files then rzip is for you. But 7zip has horrible<br>compression speed.<br></blockquote></div><br>
As said... you compress only once. Specially if the package gets
recompressed on the central repository. This way the testing can be
done with tar.gz (much quicker) and after the package stabilizes, it is
recompressed & repackaged automatically.<br>
<br>
That's only an idea though, as I have no access to the central
repository to try it myself... (although I could possible try the
develop some kind of automated repackagind robot in my own PC).<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Carlos Ribeiro<br>Consultoria em Projetos<br>blog: <a href="http://rascunhosrotos.blogspot.com">http://rascunhosrotos.blogspot.com
