add zstd compression - Githubissues

hchunhui commented 2 years ago

Fixes AppImage/AppImageKit#478

I have add zstd compression for AppImageKit. The final result is at https://github.com/hchunhui/AppImageKit/releases . Now we can run appimagetool with --comp zstd to use zstd compression.

This PR updates libappimage. If it can be merged, I will submit another PR to AppImageKit. It consists of 3 commits:

I'm not able to compile AppImageKit with the latest libappimage, so the first commit fixes the problem by restoring appimage_get_elf_size previously implemented in libappimage_shared.
The second commit compiles zstd and enables zstd support for squashfuse.
The third commit fixes a CI error when built on armhf and aarch64 ( "narrowing conversion inside { }", please see https://github.com/hchunhui/AppImageKit/runs/3927309532 ).

This needs to go in a separated PR.

@azubieta Thanks! I have opened a separated PR #160 that just includes the first commit.
