Sun 10 Oct 2021 10:04:23 PM UTC, comment #3: It seems that the gcc upstream source is by default xzipped, so that would argue for keeping 'xz' in 'basic.mk' too. However, I haven't checked if gnu.org also provides gzipped tar packages. If all basic packages are available with gzip, then gzip alone would be enough.

Tue 05 Oct 2021 11:08:46 AM UTC, comment #2: Another important point before thinking of doing this: we should also check which basic (and high-level) programs link with the libraries of these tools (except for zip/unzip and gzip, the rest also install libraries, and I have seen them getting used, although I can't remember the software exactly).

Mon 04 Oct 2021 06:44:33 PM UTC, comment #1: (1) One worry about removing gzip from the basic.mk system is that I have to had to hack into the basic.mk system quite a few times to analyse bugs and propose fixes. Being able to switch to a different upstream source package efficiently is useful. But having to gunzip the upstream archive with a host system gzip package and then lzip it to make maneage happy would add extra work to an already heavy task. This is just for debugging for my own install.

As discussed in task #15699, in the spirit of proper long-term archival, we are re-creating creating the software tarballs that we archive ourselves (that are hosted on Zenodo, and our own Git repository.

Corresponding source code
Thanks to all the points raised, we should keep the the other compression programs in the same way there are now in 'basic.mk', so I am closing this task as "Cancelled".
