I am interested in contributing to the improvement of mkimg tool. Recently, I have been exploring FreeBSD=E2=80=99= s mkimg tool and have started studying the QCOW2 specification and the use of compression libraries (zlib). I am eager to discuss potential approaches for implementing compression support directly within mkimg. Could you please let me know if this mailing list is the best medium for further discussion or if you have a preferred method of communication like your personal email? I will contact you soon with more details about the project and the proposal. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your guidance and the opportunity to collaborate.
