If we did this, wouldn't it make it very difficult to use tools like
mock on RHEL / CentOS 7 to build for Fedora 3x?
Speaking of Mock:
Either the RPM on host need to understand the new format/compression
**or**
the packages in @buildsys group (including transitional deps) have to
be in
old format - then you can build for Fedora 3x using bootstrap feature.
I need to underline this, it would be really really really bad if we were
not able to --installroot fedora chroots at least on RHEL 8. How likely
is a backport of zstd support into RPM in EL7+?
RHEL 8 should be quite easy - get zstd package into RHEL and recompile
rpm with zstd support.
RHEL 7 is a different story. The patch doesn't apply directly and a
backport would be needed.
Panu,
how difficult it would be to backport the zstd support to RHEL 7 RPM?
Technically, backporting rpmio backends is almost trivial, even to much
older rpm versions.
Getting new features into older RHEL is a much bigger problem.
