From: Prarit Bhargava on gitlab.com Merge Request: https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/2173 Most of the kernel and its packing is currently xz. There are two exceptions: the aarch64 boot an initrd images [1] and KABI. Mark gzip as only being necessary for aarch64, and change the KABI symbol compression to xz. There are other compression algorithms that are becoming more popular. To prepare for this change, add a compression variable and compression file extension variable. Signed-off-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@xxxxxxxxxx> [1] There is upstream work on implementing xz and other compression algorithms for aarch64. This work should be completed in the next few upstream kernel and bootloader releases. --- redhat/kernel.spec.template | 35 ++++++++++++++--------------------- 1 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
