Hello,
I looked into the local folder where the downloaded packages are saved
before they are installed. I noticed that a few compressed archives
files are using more size than their uncompressed form. For example, the
libstdc++6-6.4.0-1.tar.xz file uses more space than its uncompressed tar
file (on cygwin x86_64).
I do not see it
$ ls -s libstdc++6-6.4.0-1.tar.xz
280K libstdc++6-6.4.0-1.tar.xz
$ ls -s usr/bin/cygstdc++-6.dll
1.4M usr/bin/cygstdc++-6.dll
Regards
Marco
