I've tried to use the zstd --train and I don't think it is appropriate here, or at least not without significant preparation of datasets. It's more suited for many many small and similar files. We don't have that many files and there are only clusters of similarities, not similarities shared across every file. Moreover, since our files are big (at least the one that matter for the overall size), they're already contributing a lot to the live dictionary and the pre-built one has little overall influence. -- Adrien -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
