I did update it a few days ago, but it should be updated regularly.

Yes, Quotable should run the script by itself periodically.

Just documenting some of the initial findings: * If you compress 50 builds with lrz you get a ≈49 MB archive (fyi, each build is ≈28 MB, and if we...

ping @MasterDuke17, @timo OK, so my estimation of 49 MB per archive with 50 builds was *a little bit* wrong. I've done some tests and here is what I've found:...

OK, here it is with LZO:  It is indeed faster. However, most of the time it is less than 1 second of a difference, but...

More experiments done, now with varying compression level (``--level`` option in lrzip):  It's hard for me to interpret this meaningfully, but it seems that this magical ratio/decompression ratio is...

Ah, this is now done. We don't have any tests for ``build.p6`` and I'm not sure if we ever will, so maybe this is closeable.

OK, we might want to revisit this. From zstd changelog: > Zstandard has a new long range match finder written by our intern Stella Lau (@stellamplau), which specializes on finding...

That said, for https://github.com/perl6/whateverable/issues/122 this should be delayed. Both `lrzip` and `zstd` are in debian stable, and that should cover the majority of those who will attempt to run it.

Ignore what I said in the previous comment. Archives produced in long range mode should be usable by any version.
