2.6.38-rc2 tarballs? XZ-compressed source tarballs?

2.6.38-rc2 tarballs? XZ-compressed source tarballs?

[Sedat Dilek]

Hi,

I was wondering why there are no 2.6.38-rc2 tarballs available in testing/ [1].

[2] was promising XZ-compression... it would be cool to see sources
TAR.XZ tarballs, soon.

I had to be more precise... there is only TAR.GZ tarball [1].

$ cd ~/src/linux-2.6

$ tar -xf files/linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.gz

$ tar --use-compress-program=xz -cf files/linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.xz

linux-2.6.38-rc2.tar.xz: XZ compressed data

Default compression-level of XZ is 6 (9 is best), so a 28M smaller
tarball as a number speaks for itself.

Yes, I expected tar.bz2 linked to the main page.

So the *.gz parts are the only thing I ever upload. Everything else is
done by scripts that run automatically.

And it does seem like the scripts aren't running right now. I'll ping
the responsible people..
