From eb213779301aa663ab84ac947e8e181e9ad554d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2012 18:35:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] maint: don't specify XZ_OPT=-9ev in dist-related rule Using xz's -9 option is warranted only if you have a very large tarball (see xz's documentation for the sizes vs. presets), and requires 64MiB of memory at decompression time. * top/maint.mk (alpha beta stable): Don't specify XZ_OPT=-9ev. Automake's default of just "-e" is fine. Override on a per-package basis by setting XZ_OPT e.g., in cfg.mk. --- ChangeLog | 10 ++++++++++ top/maint.mk | 2 +- 2 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index c3490a0f1..ab73cce86 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,13 @@ +2012-03-02 Jim Meyering + + maint: don't specify XZ_OPT=-9ev in dist-related rule + Using xz's -9 option is warranted only if you have a very large + tarball (see xz's documentation for the sizes vs. presets), and + requires 64MiB of memory at decompression time. + * top/maint.mk (alpha beta stable): Don't specify XZ_OPT=-9ev. + Automake's default of just "-e" is fine.
