I think we could use this way first for the new Zstd support (if they don't have
bandwidth to add a offical fixed-sized output approach), but considering deflate
algorithm is quite easy for me to understand so at least I could have a simple
built-in one to avoid external dependency (mainly considering zlib since it's
quite outdated). Since EROFS is actually offline compression so the compressed
data correctness can always be checked in advance before image release.
Writing an optimized compressor, especially one that implements high compression
levels, is very hard. Are you sure it's something you want to implement and
maintain in erofs-utils?
Nope, as I said earlier, I'd like to write a simple one to replace zlib
functionality (kite_deflate already does), and I hope more popular encoders
could have offical modes for EROFS in the long term. That is something that
I wish to the opensource communities...
Thanks,
