Re: bug#3269: 23.0.93; C-mode text highlighting

[Jim Meyering]

Hi,

Following up to this message,

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/110963

I've included the trivially-rebased patch below, with a fixed log entry.
Also, have you considered offering XZ-compressed tarballs?
The decrease in size is striking:

    34M     emacs-23.0.93.tar.bz2
    26M     emacs-23.0.93.tar.xz

In addition, unpacking with xz takes about 1/3 the time, here:

    $ env time tar xf ../.new/emacs-23.0.93.tar.xz
    2.55user 0.83system 0:03.40elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+309000outputs (0major+17044minor)pagefaults 0swaps
    $ rm -rf emacs-23.0.93
    $ env time tar xf ../emacs-23.0.93.tar.bz2
    5.36user 0.83system 0:09.64elapsed 64%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    67912inputs+309000outputs (0major+1448minor)pagefaults 0swaps

I admit that when I first compressed with xz, the resulting size was
27MiB, but when I reordered files in the tarball (placing like suffixes
together), xz was able to compress to one full MiB smaller.

Subject: [PATCH] automatically handle .xz suffix (XZ-compressed files), too

* jka-cmpr-hook.el (jka-compr-compression-info-list): Add xz.
XZ is the successor to LZMA: <http://tukaani.org/xz/>
