Cover letter [Buildroot] [PATCH 0/2] use host compressor for rootfs
Hi Philippe,
Quoted 6 lines · Philippe Reynes
When the rootfs is compressed with lzma, lzo or xz, we use the binary compiled by buildroot. But with gzip or bzip, we use the tools of the machine. This serie change this behaviour for gzip and bzip2, it add a dependancy on host-<compressor> and use it to compress the rootfs.
gzip and bzip2 are mandatory dependencies of buildroot
(http://nightly.buildroot.org/manual.html#requirement-mandatory). These packages are shipped by default with virtually all general purpose distros. What problem are you trying to fix besides consistency?
