if you have one reason why it should be useful
I found one myself. pacman, libarchive and xz-utils should stay in gz format for a while to make it possible to update old machines which haven't been updated for long.
BUT: for these rare cases we can simply use repo-add etc. directly.
any idea how long it takes to compress OOo main package? as far as I know it needs a lot more time than gz/bz compression. does xz make use of SMP cpus? if not it's not an improvement and we should think about pbzip that now supports tar interaction and pipes! -Andy
