Hello,

Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer <at> gmail.com> skribis:

> * guix/build/utils.scm (compressor): Register zst file name extension.
> * guix/packages.scm (%standard-patch-inputs): Add zstd.
> (patch-and-repack): Rename tarxz-name nested procedure to tar-file-name, and
> accept a new 'ext' argument; adjust accordingly.  Add zstd binding, and
> replace the XZ_DEFAULTS environment variable with ZSTD_NBTHREADS.  Fallback to
> xz when zstd is not available.
>
