10 gcloop ucl is used in the ppc cd because plain cloop seems to have not
11 reproducible issues there
12 cloop or gcloop zlib is used in x86 cd for the pretty same reason
13 unreproducible issues with gcloop ucl at module loading time on certain
14 system

17 | I'm just going on the livecd-ng script in livewire's public_html dir.
18 It'd be
19 | great if the cd build scripts - and all the software required - was
20 already
21 | in CVS, then we wouldn't have to guess like this :)

23 Since gcloop ucl/lzo/zlib and cloop are drop-ins replacements from the
24 livecd generator point of view, every time the one working best for the
25 purpose is used.

30 | Oops - that was a typo. 0.68 can't read 1.0-created cloops, because
31 1.0 uses
32 | 64-bit file pointers.

34 Currently I'm trying to make a quite generic *cloop supporting module
35 for 2.6 kernel if someone is willing to help me fixing the bugs that are
36 present at the current state or are willing to help me porting the
37 compressors in the kernel in a clean way (currently I have the ucl
38 compressor more or less working and the generic module almost done but
39 with issues)
