From tgz to txz ....just remind me :))Long time no see :)) Just remind me in this note, that in the next release (slackware 13), the .tgz packets will change to .txz. This is only a name. Yeah ! I say that only the name coz differs from the ms windows like file system, linux doesnt care about the last three alphabet in any files. why developers gave the name .txz ? the last two alphabets related to xz based lzma compression algorithm. The main source info about this change of course the legendary slackware's changelog hehehe
...the first departure from the use of gzip for compressing Slackware packages. Instead, we will be using xz, based on the LZMA compression algorithm. xz offers better compression than even bzip2, but still offers good extraction performance (about 3 times betterthan bzip2 and not much slower than gzip in our testing). The developers switch to xz based lzma compression coz of better compression n good extraction performance ...Nah !! I just resumed it for u :))
