Subject: [GIT PULL] bzip2/lzma kernel compression
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 13:19:42 +0000 (GMT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <758512.74881.qm@web23602.mail.ird.yahoo.com> (raw)

lib/decompress_inflate.c:
+	/* skip over asciz filename */
+	if (zbuf[3] & 0x8) {
+		while (strm->next_in[0])
+			strm->next_in++;
+		strm->next_in++;
+	}
+	strm->avail_in = len - (strm->next_in - zbuf);

How about also allowing a GZIP comment (as specs) if (zbuf[3] & 0x10) ?
To test, generating a GZIP with comment is easily done by my gzcopy:
gzcopy -a="a comment" in.gz out.gz
found in this other bootloader, and can be downloaded at:

Etienne.
