Re: Compressed ISO image got bigger

[Tobias Geerinckx-Rice]

Jonathan, Guix,

There's no way around this: zisofs is an old (2004-ish?) standard 
and it's limited to zlib.  Calling XZ on the result as we do now 
is still worthwhile but not efficient.

This is also my opinion.

Cake will be served once I (or someone else) get squashfs boot 
working reliably.  We'll no longer *have* an ‘uncompressed’ ISO at 
that point, we'll boot directly from XZ.

But that first requires support for (real) unencrypted /boot.

Kind regards,
