Hi all I just have a sugguestion about the pkg format. Currently archlinux is using gzip compress method to pack the package, I think it is better to use bzip2. since bzip2 format can save about 10%-20% disk space than gzip. As I know, FreeBSD has already switch its package format from gzip to bzip2 a few year ago. The back is bzip2 takes more time to compress/decompress. since we are using morden computer. it is not a big problem. (arch only support i686/x64) Regards.
