• Bug#267078: RFH: squashfs -- Tool to create and append to squashfs file

    Package: wnpp
    Severity: normal

    I request assistance with maintaining the squashfs package. I'd like to create kernel-patch package with squashfs patches but I don't use this such method
    of building kernel. If it would be problematic with yada (I don't use debhelper) I might to orphan the package.

    The package description is:
    Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. It uses zlib
    compression to compress both files, inodes and directories. Inodes in the
    system are very small and all blocks are packed to minimise data overhead.
    Block sizes greater than 4K are supported up to a maximum of 64K.
    .
    Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival
    use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained
    block device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is
    needed.

    I'd like to create a kernel-patch-squashfs which could be helpful with
    embedded devices. So, I'll work onto it. I'll see how much complicated
    is integrating the qashfs patch with current 2.4 and 2.6 debian series...
