Re: Switching XZ for ZSTD?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It's not possible to simply substitute one for another universally, there's no "Fedora default", it's something that would need to be handled on a package-by-package basis.

As long as there are existing xz-compressed files in the wild, Fedora will need to support consuming them - as long as there is software that expects xz compression, Fedora will need to support creating them.  It's not going to disappear any time soon, and until then we're stuck with xz

All that being said, there are plenty of bits of software that could *start* using zstd by default and it would probably make sense to do so.
