Greetings,
In other font packaged for Debian I have seen
override_dh_builddeb:
dh_builddeb -- -Zxz -Sextreme -z9
in the debian/rules file. The manpage for dpkg-deb says xz is the
default since dpkg 1.15.6. The manpage for xz says
it's not a good idea to blindly use -9 for everything like it often is
with gzip(1) and bzip2(1)
The xz manpage also says about the extreme option that
it's not a good idea to blindly use -9 for everything like it often is
with gzip(1) and bzip2(1)
So I was confused. Is the above fragment of the rules file recommended?
Thanks, Bobby
