In particular: gzip -n pigz -n behave differently. I think you need to specify pigz -n -T to emulate gzip -n However, I don't think gzip supports -T. So pretending pigz is the same as gzip is not just confusing but also (in some cases) wrong. 78602 3 juro.bystricky 2017-12-07 21:25:33 +0000 I will file a separate bug reflecting the fact taht pigz is not a drop in replacement for gzip. 79361 4 ross.burton 2018-02-06 12:00:36 +0000 The fix for 12410 handles this too. 79515 5 ross.burton 2018-02-20 20:14:12 +0000 Fixed in oe-core 1624b7bfea7ac31c344a6cfcc7865a038e943814 by ensuring that pigz isn't a gzip replacement.
