I pushed the commit.
I am interested in getting these into rawhide and would like to do an 15.4
build soon. The only commits since 15.3 so far are the two related to
xz compression. Is there any issue with doing the new build? Is there anything
else pending that would be good to get in?
There's a couple new bugs related to the single initrd.img for rawhide
that I'm going to work on today, so plan on a build this evening or
tomorrow.
