Dear Linux folks,


It’d be awesome, if you applied Adam’s and Nick’s patches for ZSTD
support [1] to the Debian kernel, so users can test those early for the
next Debian release.

Here is the cover letter text:


Kind regards,

Paul

While adding the first part, ZSTD initrd and image, might be plausible,
cleanup like the rest of the patchset is right out.

I guess it's a time to resubmit the patchset upstream... except that we're
right in the middle of the merge window.


Meow!

Or is it perhaps already integrated into the (upstream) Linux kernel?

IOW: what's the current status?

The support for ZSTD has been mainlined years ago.

Cleanup of LZMA and BZIP2 on the other hand should probably be refreshed and
resubmitted, but there's no point in picking removals to distro kernels.

Thus, this bug is done.


Meow!
