From: Alexandru Avadanii Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2016 22:30:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bootstrap: Use gzip instead of xz compression. bootstrap mksquashfs using qemu-user-static is extremely slow, taking up to one hour. gzip, on the other hand, is reasonably fast. According to [1], xz is slower, with not much size gain.
