Bug#1062968: initramfs-tools-core: Use zstdmt instead of zstd by default

2024-03-13 Thread Benjamin Drung
t -z "${SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH}" && compress="$compress -T0" >   ;; The man page of zstdmt says that is equivalent to "zstd -T0".

A test on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 did not reveal any performance difference. -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer
