>Description:
The release process uses the top level make target ``gdb.tar.bz2''.

A review of the snapshot and release process reveals that a significant amount of time is unzipping, unpacking and then re-packing that (or similar) files.

The process can probably be sped up significantly dropping the compression step.  Instead the client can compress the file explicitly.



>How-To-Repeat:
The official tar ball is .gz but the process creates a .bz2.  It needs to be uncompressed / compressed.

The doco, ari and update steps all uncompress / unpack the compressed tar ball.
