Debian Package about zstd

[Cyan4973]

Thanks for the heads up Kevin.

zstd is more appropriate for programmers (and that's also the name of the binary).

If the intention is to target non-programmers, I believe Zstandard is more understandable, and can be preferred.

Also : note that current compressed format is not yet final, so it should be mentioned somewhere, like "experimental" or something like that.

FYI I'm the current maintainer of the Arch (AUR) package, which I have called zstd.

Have you finally selected a name @kdmurray91 ?
Should this issue remain opened ?

Hi Yann,

Sorry for not posting back. I have decided on libzstd as the package name. I'll also note in the Readme.debian that this is not a finalised format.

FYI, the Intent To Package bug is at https://bugs.debian.org/806767 for anyone interested.

Just to let you know, the debian package has been accepted into unstable. This means that it should make it into the next debian release.

Cheers,
Kevin

Hi @kdmurray91 ,
are you still active on this topic ?
We are looking for some help to make Ubuntu update its package in its LTS edition.
