#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 mfeiri@…): Oh, when I created this patch there was no support for hfsCompression in libarchive. I just noticed that a couple of weeks later "experimental support for HFS+ Compression" was added to libarchive. Yay! I guess this means we can get rid of the additional round of i/o. Would you suggest to somehow depend on our port of libarchive or to import libarchive/bsdtar into the base macports distribution? I would have assumed that for the kinds of files installed by macports (text and executables) the cost/benefit tradeoff is clearly in favor of unconditionally enabling compression. Apple also uses hfsCompression in /usr/bin and similar locations. Once I have some spare time again I will look into extending the patch to allow to opt out of hfsCompression. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36560#comment:16> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
