Hello everyone,
We have just tested and released everything necessary for zstd packages in our repos.
Right now, the updated devtools is still in [testing], but our preliminary testing shows that nothing immediately combusted on release, so I'm confident.
Once it has left testing, packages built with devtools will automatically use zstd with the correct options.
There is no intervention necessary, this should be an essentially transparent process.
Happy packaging and greetings from 36c3.
We found out that the historical archive uploader is broken as python doesn't have native zstd support in the tarfile package. We're trying to fix this currently.
