            Bug ID: 140008
           Summary: Don't gzip for nothing
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: medium
         Component: Installation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: eyalroz1 at gmx.com

Description:
Currently, the LibreOffice DEB and RPM tarballs are distributed in gzipped
form.

However, the DEB and RPM package files are already themselves compressed; the
DEBs seem to use LZMA even. And, indeed, the gzipping doesn't reduce the total
size.

So - don't use it. You're just wasting CPU cycles for decompressing the
tarball. What's wrong with libreoffice_whatever.tar ? Just distribute that.
