If you want to be extra-careful you could change options to: dict(format='xz', check='crc32', level=9) 'xz' and 'crc32' seem to be the current defaults, but if the defaults changed we could end up with Problems. But if you're pretty sure pyliblzma isn't going to change its defaults, it's fine as-is. -w _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
