Title:
[RFE] Add zstd support for makedumpfile and use it by default
Status in makedumpfile package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Recently makedumpfile had zstd[0] support added upstream[1]. My
suggestion here is to backport this work for Debian/Ubuntu and use it
as default (starting for example in 22.04), since it has a better
compression time and similar or even better compression rate. In [1]
there are good experiments, but I did a simple experiment in a small
VM (2G of RAM, idle) using Debian 11 (results in the first comment].
I'll open a Debian bug as well.
Thanks in advance,
Guilherme
