The ZSTD is a new compression method, potential replacement for existing methods. The support has been added to linux 4.14, but the bootloader support is missing.

Goals:

  • patch grub with zstd

  • make it compile

  • test

  • push the patches upstream

Looking for hackers with the skills:

grub bootloader
