#7 use xz instead of bzip2 for released tarball

[Vincent Torri]

bzip2 is a format which is not developped anymore and which compresses less than xz (lzma). Using xz will help downloading faster the tarball

thank you

Nope. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/LZMA2_Compression#Interoperability_Notes

I've rtripped over this problem myself. xz is fine for local use when you can always control the implementation yiu use, not so good when yo can't control whivjh options yoour bowser implements.
