First, we make distri use zstd for transport compression of packages on stream in a few lines of Go, achieving a 2x speed-up!

distri is a Linux distribution to research fast package management. You can read more about distri starting in my introduction blog post at https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2019-08-17-introducing-distri/, then in my series of blog posts about distri: https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/tags/distri/

Then, we expose go module version numbers and dependency lists in the gokrazy web interface and improve the partition creation command for making the first use a little easier. 

gokrazy is a pure-Go userland for your Raspberry Pi appliances, meaning it allows you to build Raspberry Pi images consisting of Go programs.
