Dear Linux developers,
In 2010 Laszlo Ersek recommended[1] the plzip program to compress Linux
tarballs. However his advice went unnoticed, and Linux developers chose
xz instead.
[1] http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/21/202
Now I would like to present new evidence in favor of Laszlo's
recommendation. Please, see it at
http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/xz_inadequate.html ,
http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip_benchmark.html#xz2 and
http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/plzip_benchmark.html
Please, could you reconsider your decision and use lzip instead of xz
for the compression of Linux tarballs?
Thanks,
Antonio.
