Thanks: James McCoy for the suggestion.

For downloading we provide the choice via Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order as there is a choice to be made between download size and speed – and limited by whats available in the repository. Storage on the other hand has all compressions currently supported by apt available and to reduce runtime of tools accessing these files the compression type should be a low-cost format in terms of decompression. apt traditionally stores its indexes uncompressed on disk, but has options to keep them compressed. Now that apt downloads additional files we also deal with files which simply can't be stored uncompressed as they are just too big (like Contents for apt-file). Traditionally they are downloaded in a low-cost format (gz) as repositories do not provide other formats, but there might be even lower-cost formats and for download we could introduce higher-cost in the repositories. Downloading an entire index potentially requires recompression to another format, so an update takes potentially longer – but big files are usually updated via pdiffs which has to de- and re-compress anyhow and does it on the fly anyhow, so there is no extra time needed and in general it seems to be benefitial to invest the time in update to save time later on file access. 2016-01-07T14:51:00Z Julian Andres Klode jak@debian.org 2016-01-07T14:51:00Z urn:sha1:df46a87ab6b67019277884f7ae990af26080280d This allows passing compressing the output. The compressor must be a compressor name, extension, or an extension without the leading dot. 2016-01-03T16:42:17Z Julian Andres Klode jak@debian.org 2016-01-03T16:39:39Z urn:sha1:38a5b1ceeeca6ff530a2816a39bcd10d14c85d33 Gbp-Dch: ignore 2016-01-03T16:34:50Z Julian Andres Klode jak@debian.org 2016-01-03T16:34:50Z urn:sha1:6d7fc45ed4e22163bba6478c7523f4509d200c58 It does not make sense to consider empty buckets in the average, as they do not affect the lookup performance. 2015-12-28T10:41:04Z Julian Andres Klode jak@debian.org 2015-12-28T10:41:04Z urn:sha1:ff2717e8c6a7633bbd38be95b2d30615802b6679 There's no point in keeping using yet another read-then-write loop.
