There has also been talk of switching the official images over to .xz. How about a DEPLOY_COMPRESSION=gz/xz/zip/none type of parameter to avoid having multiple DEPLOY_$format variables in the future? |
|
Oh, that would make a lot of sense! |
|
Nobody working on it right now, no. If you'd like to, yeah that would be great. It's not looking like I'd get around to it in the near future myself. |

I'll test it a little bit when I get a chance, just to double check everything, but I think it's good to go. Thanks for your work on this. |

This PR creates a
DEPLOY_GZoption available to use in the config file.This is turned off by default, and will only work if
DEPLOY_ZIP=0.As it says on the tin, this addition provides a way to produce compressed images in a gzip format.
pigzis used to create the image as it allows the computation to be made using all the available cores, leading to a faster compression stage. It has thus been added todepends.
