maint: don't specify XZ_OPT=-9ev in dist-related rule Using xz's -9 option is warranted only if you have a very large tarball (see xz's documentation for the sizes vs. presets), and requires 64MiB of memory at decompression time. * top/maint.mk (alpha beta stable): Don't specify XZ_OPT=-9ev. Automake's default of just "-e" is fine. Override on a per-package basis by setting XZ_OPT e.g., in cfg.mk.
