That is not the issue. There are two issues:
- Compressing a file on different arches, while it produces output
that any arch can decompress, does produce *different* output.
- Compression of xz is not fast.
So long as RPM is not rebuilt on client's computer, xz is definitely a
favorable choice: less download, fast decompression.
What about to rebuild unzipped RPM on client's computer, and compare
its signature with pre-calculated one? It should be fast on server
side (pre-calculate signature for all drpm is too slow, as seth said.)
