Thread-topic: Anyone actively working on gzip compression in LKCD?
Is anyone actively working on getting gzip compression to work with LKCD
(dump and lcrash)?  Before I spend too much time looking at it I thought
I'd check that I'm not duplicating anyone else's effort.

I've fixed the bugs that I've found in the drivers/dump gzip code, and
the resulting code manages about a 4:1 compression ratio on my test
system.  Of course, since I can't read the dump with lcrash (yet), it's
a little hard to pin any validity on that number ...

Thanks,
