[11:46] <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
[13:31] <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.
[13:32] <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.....
[13:33] <jochensp> Guillem said he reconsider a week ago
[13:43] <xnox> jochensp:  was that zstd or merged-usr =)))))
[13:56] <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]
[14:52] <xnox> jochensp:  yeah reading newest updates on the bug report
[14:53] <xnox> will check if i can provide any answers to newly raised points of clarification
[15:22] <ginggs> who looks after Ben? i see last update Wed, 13 Apr 2022 06:06:32 +0000
[15:38] <oerheks> Ben, long time no see, indeed
[19:29] <mwhudson> jochensp: unclear to me how that package specifically would help?
[19:30] <mwhudson> jochensp: also, no, not at this stage of the release process i would expect
[22:11] <Guest54092330902> is there anyone online?
[22:12] <Guest54092330902> Have you ever thought about creating a file format to automate the ubuntu installation process?

[22:14] <Guest54092330902> I thought of this file format
[22:15] <Guest54092330902> my idea would be to import this file format on installation
[22:15] <sarnold> i suggest learning to use the tools that already exist first
[22:15] <Guest54092330902> What do you think of this idea?
[22:16] <Guest54092330902> Is this idea bad?
