+1. xz is not part of all our releases, yet people still might be running 6.x for example, and they certainly won't be happy to keep two versions of their newsyslog.conf (otherwise identical) -- just another reason why this change is moot at least. Otherwise I totally agree with Dmitry that xz is not for frequent compressions of small files when it clearly loses to bzip2. ./danfe _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
