AIUI, linux can now have support for uncompressing bzip2, lzma and lzo.
Trying them on amd64's initrd:
-rw-r--r-- 1 samy samy 8,5M févr. 5 14:06 initrd.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 samy samy 7,7M févr. 5 14:06 initrd.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 samy samy 6,2M févr. 5 14:06 initrd.lzma
-rw-r--r-- 1 samy samy 9,4M févr. 5 14:06 initrd.lzo
-rw-r--r-- 1 samy samy 6,2M févr. 5 14:07 initrd.xz (for comparison)
Doesn't it seem worthwhile to enable lzma support in the kernel to save
more than 2M here?
