To decompress the stage3, the users will require an important amount of RAM, because `xz -9' uses a dictionary size of 64MiB by default. Lzip usually compresses large files about as much as xz, but using half the RAM and requiring half the RAM to decompress[1]. For fun, I've re-compressed the stage3 using my lzip 1.15: -rw-r--r-- 1 selk users 231566875 jun 21 17:55 exherbo-x86_64-pc-linux-musl-current.tar.lz -rw-r--r-- 1 selk users 284602164 jun 21 17:55 exherbo-x86_64-pc-linux-musl-current.tar.xz [1] http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip_benchmark.html See also: http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/manual/lzip_manual.html#Quality-assurance --=20 GPG pub ID =3D 0x3AAF1CEC203A99D5 Key servers =3D hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net - keys.gnupg.net Key fingerprint =3D 35BD B9D4 6B56 B5FA CB64 7C9B 3AAF 1CEC 203A 99D5 --Sig_/yJLo9xAg1pqQGUZrP5x/bsw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: Firma digital OpenPGP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJXaqy+XxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQzNUJEQjlENDZCNTZCNUZBQ0I2NDdDOUIz QUFGMUNFQzIwM0E5OUQ1AAoJEDqvHOwgOpnVxzMP/0fB+ALMyqeT6xaFe1o+5U7K mPtX9E02tamHa1O6EMeK73mep8gCzZ4bao0He2+Dt6y7qHCMDeI517e8BQyQ0sMH BBLqp9FbPFpDd7t1571fQCaY1iReuDWMi+N+zZ+13UXWxtVc8iBb7UI0chQ9hMVn jdV1IyBHCqXwvQ7GCAPnzYbSD5eudRUA+vSPqu71/4ceXSZMyXVkPGe1iLZMYelO N1D9h//7V4st5c5SZgse+kJKdcvL4aV2Wz8cF8TCsje4fsOp+QP0Sr4p2Hr4cJca SrFgvuW5lfdZH4SCzdsQ8eODV3DCLxLNtHKZfS60FOxpNsuBb6gIvITubcUMDKmu UDgT04oirgpxaLejiEpdXVFP79hh5HC6L8E+XzxuqGl5sUhD4vPGS3KhXuJjD5nh mhTVI83TSmFrA4aDGd96r62n7QXYwwzDxvScHNVfnTICfLD4vzHfjbTHVQ5HDeAC 9Nx7QkVI0L4CJ7PJZDHzcWY0C7kh2+563SZksu5xuX4fw8CV5cq09OLa5mqXm07e BLF0kzHIAzikeGtXGp0ZP5sTP/UGNVQRMQ/CGq6REdPyOOoyPmxfuAQfBWU1R/Vi /CPzWnSt8nHgeJsl3Wzgs2LFHXVcGJvv3btszEfSSEnKAQO7zmzMFJgqnmBr3hSI KNX1RGJ8FzIewTTVFJCg =YQ8h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/yJLo9xAg1pqQGUZrP5x/bsw--
