#5362: Use XZ for repository metadata compression --------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: elad | Owner: rel-eng@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Milestone: | Component: other Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: --------------------------+-----------------------
Comment (by elad):
Any chance this can be done for F21 and Rawhide? yum supports xz in all currently-supported Fedora releases, so the transition would be smooth and probably un-noticable.
From rel-eng side, it just means adding --compress-type=xz to the createrepo call in the script.
