PETget Package Manager supports zstd

July 12, 2020 — BarryK

The PPM was originally "Puppy Package Manager", but I have named it "PETget" in EasyOS, but you can still call it the PPM.

Arch Linux packages are now using zstd compression, and are named with ".pkg.tar.zst" extension.

I have added support for .pkg.tar.zst and .tar.zst to PETget. The modified scripts are installpkg.sh, petget and verifypkg.sh, in path /usr/local/petget.

I posted yesterday about mime-handling and Xarchive support added for zstd:
