Re: [GIT PULL][PATCH v5 0/8] Add support for ZSTD-compressed kernel and initramfs
The series seems to be stuck in limbo, and I got the hint to bring this to Andrew's attention [1]. Hope this will finally end in upstream, been using these patches for ~2 years. Regards, Norbert [1] - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=955469

Thus far, as long as there exists 'a priori' the Zstd package, the combination works in both local and my custom Google cloud instances installations.

Nick can you offer latest zstd (v5) on top of Linux v5.8-rc1, please? - Sedat -
