cc'ing Julian Seward the author of bzip2
----- Original message ----- Hi, just wanted to remark that I never liked that bzip was replaced by bzip2 (were there license issues?) since bzip's compression was/is often stronger:
39843104 Mar 28 09:33 linux-2.6.15.7.tar.bz2 39423739 Mar 28 09:33 linux-2.6.15.7.tar.bz
Not a big difference in this case but still a step back. I for once am keeping my bzip binary.. does anyone know where the source can still be found? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
