[Bug 2790] New: bzip2 compresses better the release archive than gzip

[Wine Bugs]

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2790

           Summary: bzip2 compresses better the release archive than gzip
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20050310
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-files
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: jerome.bouat(a)wanadoo.fr


I compressed the official release archive with bzip2
and saw the following difference:
---
[j(a)localhost tmp]$ du Wine-20050310.tar.*
8,8M    Wine-20050310.tar.bz2
12M     Wine-20050310.tar.gz
---

Compressing the release archive with bzip2 instead of gzip saves about 22% of
the archive size. Since this archive is widely downloaded, bzip2 compression
could save a lot of bandwidth too.
