Hey folks, This has been percolating in my mind for a little while now, but we've been going through and switching things to zstd across the board (most recently initramfs, but we did btrfs compression, zram, and even rpm previously), and I wonder if we want to also switch man and info pages from gzip to zstd.
This has already been done at least once with OpenMandriva, so I know it is possible with an RPM distribution in a reasonable fashion. At least man-db has support for zstd compression and just needs to be told to prefer it at build time, and OpenMandriva has a patch for texinfo[1]. If we want to do it, it's not hard to accomplish Is there a compelling reason that we shouldn't consider migrating to zstd in an upcoming Fedora release?
