Gzippping this file and the tarballs would be a very welcome change, yes. The main issue is to make sure all the expected clients can decompress those files. IOW we need to add support for that to `package.el`. The sooner the better. AFAIK it's pretty easy to add support to Apache to auto-generate the `.gz` files on the fly. I tried setting up the server to do the opposite (automatically serving the uncompressed version of the file when the file name without `.gz` is requested) but couldn't get it to work. Stefan
