23 ===================
24
25 Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
26 provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
27 module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
28 is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
29 to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
30 configuration.
