Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] SOHO 6.0 help please

We surelly can use better compression in SOHO if it is available.
However it is my understanding that the compression is similar in xz
and lz. I would like to see the new package tools in SOHO but wouldnt
be urgent if there is no better compression rates.
