deb packages : xz compression ?

[Jérôme Bouat]

Hello,


By default the dpkg-deb tool builds deb packages with gzip compression.

Could you possibly change your default the scripts in order to automatically build deb packages with xz.

ON the wiki page :
http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/DebianBuildingInstructions#Advanced:_create_a_Debian_binary_package

we could update the below command :
"""
dpkg -b tmp/ DEBS/
"""

by the below command :
"""
dpkg -b -Zxz -z9 -Sextreme tmp/ DEBS/
"""


Regards.
