#36560: Use hfsCompression --------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: mfeiri@… | Owner: mfeiri@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.1.99 Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: | --------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by egall@…): Replying to [comment:14 jmr@…]:
Why would we need to fork libarchive? There are at least two implementations out there that turn on compression for individual files, and if you have that, you can do it as you extract with libarchive.
There is a fundamental space/speed tradeoff here, and you don't get to decide that everyone wants to save space. At minimum, it needs to be a conf option.
How would one go about making this into a conf option? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36560#comment:15> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
