Re: Linux Kernel Source Compression

Compressed with -9.

     -9            slowest (best) compression

Unsure on the maximum distance.

Version info:

rzip 2.1

Was curious as to which utilities would offer the best compression ratio for
the kernel source, I thought it'd be bzip2 or rar but lzma wins, roughly 6 MiB
smaller than bzip2.

You forgot:
 - .7z    7zip
 - .j     JAR (www.arjsoftware.com)
 - .ice   LHICE (some sort of "brother" to lharc aka lzh)
 - .ace   ACE (www.winace.com)
 -        UPX (yes!, you just need to put '#!/\n' at the front)
 - .cab   MS CAB (use winace)
 - .bh    BlackHole
 - .pak   PKARC 2.51
 - .sqz   SqueezeIt
 - "LZEXE"

ftp://camelot.spsl.nsc.ru/pub/win32/arc/ - you'll find some there
happy packing :)

38064   linux-2.6.16.17.tar.rz

 - is this rzip with _maximum_ distance?
