multi-threaded compression does not create a predictable reproducible archive (for xz/zstd).
Zstd is multi-thread safe, as far as I know, xz is not. But the kernel does not support zstd.
Sure, has nothing to do with reproducibility however.
It has, because lzop is the only algorithm that produces unreproducible builds due to them adding their own timestamp, which there's no flag to remove. Of course lzop will be faster than xz, but mkinitcpio's default is gz, which should be comparable, at least in speed, with lzop. Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini
