Arch Linux has switched to using the zstd algorithm for package compression.

Posted on

Arch Linux developers announced the transition of the package packaging scheme from the xz algorithm (.pkg.tar.xz) to zstd (.pkg.tar.zst). The repackaging of the packages into the zstd format resulted in a total package size increase of 0.8%, but improved unpacking speed by 1300%. As a result, the switch to zstd will lead to a significant increase in package installation speed. Currently, the repository uses the algorithm […]

Yes, indeed, general-purpose trees are not used anywhere, traversal is slow, and the use cases are few. So, I posed this question and will now explain how a general-purpose tree is constructed. So, ideally, the structure of a general-purpose tree […]

Development of a debugging board for K1986VE1QI (aviation)

A few years ago, I became acquainted with Russian microcontrollers from Milandr. It was 2013, when engineers were fervently discussing the first results of the Federal Target Program "Development of the Electronic Component Base and Radio Electronics" for 2008-2015. By that time, the K1986VE9x controller (Cortex-M3 core) had already been released, and the 1986VE1T controller (Cortex-M1 core) had just appeared. The latter, in a plastic LQFP-144 package, had […]
