"Релиз минималистичного дистрибутива Alpine Linux 3.15" Отправлено BratishkaErik, 25-Ноя-21 04:30
Because it does not work with busybox modprobe. We actually used zstd first, and added the extra 1MB for kmod (same size as entire busybox btw...). But then it was discovered that there are also some kubernetes tools like `kube-router` that uses busybox modprobe. We ran some tests to compare with gz and the difference was not that big so it was simply not worth the downsides. See https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/12857 for the details
