Package: squashfs-tools
Version: 1:4.4-1
Severity: wishlist
Is it possible to write something that reads a tarball from stdin, and
writes a squashfs to stdout?
The context is https://bugs.debian.org/942098
where tar is used in a pipeline, so replacing it with mksquashfs is
fiddly. One suggestion is a hypothetical "tar2squashfs" program.
Is such a program even possible?
If so, how hard is it to implement?
[I initially tried to send this to
nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.squashfs.devel, but that
particular mailing list is read-only in gmane.
So I'm dumping it here because otherwise I'll forget about it entirely.
Sorry!]

This was added in the 4.5 release as sqfstar, which will be part of
our Bookworm release.
