Store Developer docs on a compressed disk image
Authored by: markuswarren on May 03, '07 08:34:15AM

I assume you are using the terminal to create the image as the UDBZ (UDIF bzip2-compressed image) option is not accessible by default in Disk Utility (there was a hint a short while ago about enabling a debug mode in DU which does appear to enable a few options when creating new images, and the bzip2 compression is one of them). Apart from getting a smaller size, is there any other reason you're using UDBZ as opposed to the normal compress option you'd find in Disk Utility?

Also, one thing worthy of note is that the UDBZ option is 10.4+ only, so if you have pre 10.4 dev systems that compression option won't be supported.
