[arch-dev-public] zstd rollout complete
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. -- Rob (coderobe) O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org

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.

Sadly tarfile does not support .zst so we need to use xtarfile. But xtarfile does not handle our way of opening package files with tarfile. [1] The xtarfile_open method raises a NotImplementedError since it seemingly does not handle 'r|*' while 'r' works thanks to svenstaro's patch. [2] Further digging around by removing the '|*' and "encoding='utf-8'" seems to actually make it workable.. [3] I'll check if I at least can get it working again...
