| jochensp | Hi, could you compress the jammy libc6.deb with xz instead of zstd? dpkg in jammy depends on it and it makes it would make it much easier to unpack a jammy chroot on Debian | 11:46 |
|---|---|---|
| xnox | jochensp: hi, i've added debootstrap changes to debian to use zstd tooling to debootstrap jammy ubuntu on debian. if you install debootstrap from sid; it knows how to unpack and debootstrap zstd compressed jammy. | 13:31 |
| jochensp | xnox: I know, but prefer mmdebstrap ;) (I used dpkg from impish for now) | 13:32 |
| xnox | jochensp: libc6 is a key package that is installed and upgraded by all systems, and having it zstd compressed helps speed up package installation time for everyone on ubuntu. relative xz compression. | 13:32 |
| xnox | jochensp: maybe need to open a bug in mmdebstrap to implement something similar? | 13:32 |
| jochensp | na, rather wait for zstd support in dpkg | 13:32 |
| xnox | jochensp: cause i do not want to sacrafice install/upgrade speed of all ubuntu users; to support debian users. | 13:32 |
| jochensp | ack | 13:32 |
| xnox | jochensp: it may take a long time..... | 13:32 |
| jochensp | Guillem said he reconsider a week ago | 13:33 |
| xnox | jochensp: was that zstd or merged-usr =))))) | 13:43 |
| jochensp | xnox: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892664#114 | 13:56 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 892664 in dpkg "dpkg: Please add decompression support for zstd" [Wishlist, Open] | 13:56 |
| xnox | jochensp: yeah reading newest updates on the bug report | 14:52 |
| xnox | will check if i can provide any answers to newly raised points of clarification | 14:53 |
| ginggs | who looks after Ben? i see last update Wed, 13 Apr 2022 06:06:32 +0000 | 15:22 |
| oerheks | Ben, long time no see, indeed | 15:38 |
| mwhudson | jochensp: unclear to me how that package specifically would help? | 19:29 |
| mwhudson | jochensp: also, no, not at this stage of the release process i would expect | 19:30 |

| Guest54092330902 | Have you ever thought about creating a file format to automate the ubuntu installation process? | 22:12 |
