Future releases as tar.bz2 and tar.xz

[Christopher Roy Bratusek <zanghar freenet de>]

Hi all,

nothing special, just some news:

all future releases will be available as tar.bz2 and tar.xz.
XZ is also known as LZMA2 and has a much better compression than bz2.

For example Sawfish 1.6.1:

du -h sawfish-1.6.1.tar.{xz,bz2}
2,4M sawfish-1.6.1.tar.xz
3,6M sawfish-1.6.1.tar.bz2

So this is -30%, which helps saving bandwith and stuff. Though not
necessary for most people, but in non-industrial countries (or in
non-urban regions) there are a lot people who can't access DSL (and
flatrates).
