Re: Solving the compression dilema when rsync-ing Debian versions
There was a few discussions on the rsync mailing lists about how to
handle compressed files, specifically .debs
I'd like to see some way of handling it better, but I don't think
it'll happen at the rsync end. Reasons include higher server cpu load
to (de)compress every file that is transferred and problems related to
different compression rates.
