Subject: [bug#68242] [PATCH 0/5] Compress man pages using zstd
Date: Thu,  4 Jan 2024 10:16:41 -0500

This series changes the compressor of our man pages from gzip to zstd, which
decompresses much faster, and compresses better at the chosen level (19).


Maxim Cournoyer (5):
  utils: Lower xz compression memory usage limit to 20%.
  compression: Enable zstd parallel compression.
  packages: Repack patched source archives via zstd by default.
  build: gnu-build-system: Compress man pages with zstd.
  man-db: Add support for zstd compressed man pages.
