Hi everybody,
as i am lazy, i will simply copy and paste the two relevant emails written by
me:
"using gzip compression level 4 isnt the default of cvs and might
generate
alot of load on the server. therefore i suggest letting cvs fall back to
it's default -z0 It might be usefull to have a variable controll this, so it
is easy for people who really have a slow connection to manually adjust this
setting."
and the reply by Mike Frysinger (vapier), maintainer of this eclass:
"i would use -z1 or -z2 as the default and allow people to override it
via
make.conf ... but you should send your proposal to the gentoo-dev
mailing
list to see how people feel"
I think -z1 or 2 would be better than z4 of course.
When it comes to announcing this change, i would stress why this has been
changed, so not everyone just manually switches back to z4 immediatly.
Ciao,
Daniel
