Default to xz compression for tarballs #478

Closed rdmark closed 1 year ago

rdmark commented 1 year ago

The OSS community has largely moved from gz to xz compression for tarballs.

We should change our automake targets to use xz. (make dist)

ghost commented 1 year ago

See dgsga-issue-478 for the easy fix to create an xz tarball (953KiB vs 1.7MiB).
