I've been seeing some references to zstd lately. AFAIK, the only use of
it right now in LFS/BLFS is for some tests, but I think it will become
more common in the future.
I downloaded the tarball from https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases
and the build is pretty easy. Actually they support make, meson, and
cmake.
I was able to build with
make
make prefix=/usr install
Build size 17 MB
Install size 3.1 MB
Time was about 0.5 SBU
We might want to make some changes to install in /bin and /lib instead
of /usr and to remove or suppress the static library, but I haven't
looked at that yet.
Should we add this now or wait a while until more packages start using it?
