[New-bugs-announce] [issue20741] Documentation archives should be available also in tar.xz format

[Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis]

New submission from Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis:

Source archives (e.g. in [1]) are available in tgz and tar.xz formats, but documentation archives (e.g. in [2]) are available only in tar.bz2 and zip formats.
I suggest that documentation archives be available also in tar.xz format.
