All official kernels of Arch Linux now support zstd compressed initramfs images, so mkinitcpio is switching to zstd compressed images by default on the version that is currently on [testing].
You should name the version number, just to make sure the context is not lost after the move. --
Good idea. I've reworked the text of the first paragraph to:
---- As linux-lts moved to the 5.10 version, all official kernels of Arch Linux now support zstd compressed initramfs images, so mkinitcpio is switching to zstd compressed images by default with version 30, which is currently on [testing]. ----
Why the rush though? The kernels where released not even a day ago and why risk breaking peoples setup? Even if partial upgrading the kernel is not recommended it's a fairly common strategy. I'd rather wait a good week for people to have completed the upgrades. I personally do this so I can chug along the testing repositories more easily and not have to reboot every day for my webcam to work. zstd is nice, but not lets-break-a-common-upgrade-strategy nice. -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
