Bug#882244: zstd: add zstd package to jessie-backports
"Current systems" in the sense of 'systems that are currently being used'. :) Awesome.

Describing systems running Debian 8 as "current systems" is not really what I would consider a correct description. However, I uploaded to Backports-new. You need to wait until this is accepted. Thanks for your time. You are welcome Andreas.

Package: zstd Severity: wishlist It would be really handy to have a backports package available for Debian 8 so that zstd could be used for current systems without having to develope an in-house package. We have quite a few jessie systems, and it will be supported via LTS until 2020, [1] so it may be a little while before they're all upgraded. I was able to install the stable/stretch version of libzstd1 [2], but trying to install the corresponding binary command package [3] gives the following: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of zstd: zstd depends on libstdc++6 (>= 6); however: Version of libstdc++6:amd64 on system is 4.9.2-10. Thanks for your time.
