Hello again,
We are on our way to getting zstd merged.
The planned merge window for this is **2019/12/27** at around 20:00 Europe/Berlin time. Several team members will be meeting at the 36c3, so we figured this is a good opportunity to do this, as it makes sure that several people are aware, ready, and together for this - should anything immediately explode.
This has been ACK'd by anthraxx. Foxboron is also aware. I have been mentioning this on IRC, and discussed it with anthraxx via e-mail. This mail serves to formalize the plans.
**There is one hard requirement on the merge happening:**
All critical Arch Linux production infrastructure needs to be ready. The known-unsolved problems are labelled below, please see to them if any of you can. I will also take a look myself, but I do not have much involvement with these parts of the puzzle, so I would really appreciate someone with more in-depth knowledge taking a look.
If the known issues are solved and nothing major comes up, the deployment will happen as planned.

What still needs to be done: - infrastructure: - nginx rewrite rules hardcode xz PKGEXT https://github.com/archlinux/infrastructure/blob/7d0ad69030982875f862bc49166... - archive config(?) hardcodes PKGEXT https://github.com/archlinux/infrastructure/blob/7d0ad69030982875f862bc49166...
Unsolved: This needs fixing. I would *really* like someone from devtools to take a look at this, but if unsolved i will also attempt to fix it.

Unsolved: This needs fixing. If nobody else gets to it, I'll see to it myself.
Oof, this looks a bit confusing. It's using the $PKGEXT variable as both a /usr/bin/find glob pattern and a sed injection (counting the number of characters and trimming them off using .{number} !) See https://github.com/archlinux/dbscripts/pull/4 for inspiration in working around this misuse. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
