Version: 10.0.6esr-2
Severity: important
Usertags: xz-for-wheezy
Please use xz compression for the binary packages. We are trying to fit
a few more packages on the first CDs to get a usable desktop install
with it, see [1] for more details.
Iceweasel wasn't on my initial list, but having a supported browser on
CD1 should be fairly important.
Just adding
override_dh_builddeb:
dh_builddeb -- -Zxz
to debian/rules should be enough for this. You can look for a
data.tar.xz member using 'ar t *.deb' to be sure, also xulrunner-10.0
should only need ~9.2 MB (before: ~12 MB) and xulrunner-10.0-dbg only
95 MB (before: 155 MB).
Regards,
Ansgar
