Public bug reported: [Availability]
* In Universe, on all supported arches, since xenial [Rationale] * In use by btrfs-progs[-udeb] in main * To be used by apt & dpkg * Already in use by the kernel for initramfs compression, however that is using in-kernel implementation [Security] * https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=zstd -> none * Hardenening flags is available * There are some compiler warnings [Quality assurance] * Maintained in debian med team * xnox has upload rights, and fixed up for it to be Multi-arch sane * testsuite is enabled and passing * lacks autopkgtests, could be added to run the test-suite [Dependencies] * Currently has only glibc as depedency * Command line tool can be compiled with gzip (already eanbled), xz/lzma/lz4 (not enabled), thus making the zstd util to cover all cases of compress/decompress/cat/less for any of these algos. [Standards compliance] * Complies with debian packaging guidelines * Currently does not build reproducibly [Maintenance] * Med, D-I teams in Debian, and foundations in Ubuntu [Background information] * A new compression algorithm from facebook, which is comparable to gzip, yet faster / less resource intensive than xz. ** Affects: libzstd (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: MIR approval team (ubuntu-mir) Status: Confirmed ** Changed in: libzstd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: libzstd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: libzstd (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => MIR approval team (ubuntu-mir) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1755310 Title: MIR libzstd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libzstd/+bug/1755310/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
