Compress tarball with xz
Last modified: 2013-07-03 10:28:07 EDT
Compressing the 2.3.10 tarball with xz would save about 26 MB, see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.devel/181336 diff --git a/java-1.7.0-openjdk.spec b/java-1.7.0-openjdk.spec index ad0a3e3..e90f339 100644 --- a/java-1.7.0-openjdk.spec +++ b/java-1.7.0-openjdk.spec @@ -169,2 +169,2 @@ URL: http://openjdk.java.net/ -# tar czf openjdk-icedtea-%{icedtea_version}.tar.gz openjdk -Source0: openjdk-icedtea-%{icedtea_version}.tar.gz +# tar cJf openjdk-icedtea-%{icedtea_version}.tar.xz openjdk +Source0: openjdk-icedtea-%{icedtea_version}.tar.xz More savings would be available from the 2.1.9 tarball but there's no script to generate it nor links to download it from.
This is god idea. Thank you, it will be proposed.
Done http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/java-1.7.0-openjdk.git/commit/?h=f18&id=c320ede3e6cadaca3cfd3038904f8881a4b78a0f and same for f19 and rawhide.
