Hi,

I kind of missed out on this change... but I got caught up by reality hard this morning :-(.

I currently don't see a reason why zstd is required on the host - only systemd is having a hard dependency against zstd atm, while the other lately added references are just optional PACKAGECONFIGs (and there are plenty of them which have loose ends - in poky and meta-oe)

So the question I want to raise: why a hard dependency? wouldn't have been HOSTTOOLS_NONFATAL enough?

I mean this is the second hard cut in the project within just weeks and this time it was host related, which is even harder to fix in a timely manner in a corporate environment (basically rolling out changes to all dev installations isn't something I fancy on a Wednesday morning :-( )

None of the commit messages somehow mentions, why we all of a sudden need that on the host, instead of building it from sources (which should be possible judging from the latest master sources).

And on that note: that the documentation wasn't updated in the same changeset is very unfortunate (not even the crops container where updated)

on ubuntu 18.04 we will need

sudo apt install zstd liblz4-tool

Michael,

Can you update the docs for this change?

http://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/system-requirements.html?highlight=bzip2

I don't know what the package names are for non-debian distros.

This must have been done for the YP AB cluster but
maybe that's done manually?
