Comment 1 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2011-06-20 17:38:32 UTC

Interesting:

cat bzip2/sources gzip/sources
00b516f4704d4a7cb50a1d97e6e8e15b  bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz
fc7be225884ae5324b44167ced89f50a  gzip-1.4.tar.xz

So perhaps this should be the general rule of thumb when packaging a compressor?

Comment 2 Jindrich Novy 2011-06-20 18:01:47 UTC

Good point. XZ uses bzip2 compressed tarballs now.
