Kernel using LZMA compression

2009-10-31 Thread Ikem Krueger
As I know, the kernel is compressed with bzip2 or gzip. How about using LZMA instead? Or is that already the case? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

How to add upstream developer as a (co)maintainer of the existing application?

2009-10-31 Thread Peter Lemenkov
