Simply switching to "xz -9" from "gz" gives a big improvement: 50139344 Oct 22 22:07 matplotlib-1.4.2.tar.gz 43625140 Jan 12 15:45 matplotlib-1.4.2.tar.xz The default "xz" that you get from "tar -cJf" was very close but slightly bigger (it will depend on the contents of the directory). That's an easy feature request that we could send upstream. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
