Subject: Compressing compressed files
Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2016 10:58:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160801085839.GA2426@solar> (raw)

Hello,

I am seeing this funny command being executed on one of the build machines:
   bash -c guix archive --export /gnu/store/06g54r7am7ka96d7jydgmayfyqgx1s1l-cfe-3.5.2.src.tar.xz | xz -c

Would it be difficult to prevent re-compressing of already compressed
source when offloading? Especially since xz is rather expensive, and more
or less occupies one core of the arm machines.

Andreas
