Is it common for people to need to manipulate rpms on target without
rpm being present using busybox? Do you know if busybox plans to add
zstd support?
As far as I could tell when we looked at this, the rpm world was moving
over to zstd so adding in conditional xz support for a limited use case
probably just creates a maintenance headache going forward as it isn't
something we test or plan to test?
Are you using this on an LTS release or master?
Cheers,
Richard
