Feature changed by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Feature #312299, revision 9 Title: xz compression for livecd openSUSE Distribution: Done Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ben Li (gtx75) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Fedora 15 is going to use xz compression for their live cds http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/LZMA_for_Live_Images can we also have xz compression for opensuse livecds so more software can be bundled in? Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: more software on livecds Discussion: #1: Sławomir Lach (lachu) (2011-05-03 08:34:55) OpenSUSE don't support this feature yet? #2: Ben Li (gtx75) (2011-05-06 20:50:03) (reply to #1) There is no information on this at all. The only thing I found was: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/04/28/whats-behind-lzma-compressed-livecds/ Other than that, there is no news on it at all. #3: Bernhard Wiedemann (bmwiedemann) (2011-05-13 08:09:56) (reply to #1) http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/05/15/livecd-performance-clicfs-vs-squashfs... also mentions clicfs (which we use for our LiveCDs) using LZMA - so we have this feature done for years now. #4: Ben Li (gtx75) (2011-05-15 00:54:22) (reply to #3) You are right, I didn't know about clicfs and I went and found this. http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/04/28/whats-behind-lzma-compressed-livecds/ That git source link at the bottom of the article does not work though. + #5: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2011-07-21 18:06:17) (reply to #3) + Well that was comparing iso+lzma to squashfs+gzip. A better-suited + comparison using squashfs+xz (kernel 3.0 has a CONFIG_SQUASHFS_XZ) + should be done. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312299
