To reduce the disk space consumption and upload/download times, let's switch to a better archrive compression algorithm. XZ should be popular enough to not cause many complaints about this. Signed-off-by: Christoph Müllner <christoph.muellner@vrull.eu>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Just curious - how were the XZ_OPT options chosen?
Why --threads=0? Does "parallel" processing cause problems with the resulting output?
Isn't -6 compression level the default anyway so why specify it explicitly?
Could the XZ_OPT settings be specified once and reused elsewhere so that if they ever need to be tweaked it is just a single line change?
