Hey there,
I recently was made aware of Zstandard compression, and like some of it’s
properties.
For example blazing fast decompression speed. This always annoyed me the most
with the bzip2 that we like for two decades or so.
But this should also save storage and download traffic.
We prepared trunk so far, and we are re-compressing the trunk mirror archive.
I estimate some fallout, such as the host build system need to have zstd and
it’s file need to know the zstd magic (patch in T2).
I will also test switching the “iso” binaries packages to zstd by default for
smaller iso image and blazingly fast unpacking (e.g. to solid state storage, …).
Cheers,
René
