Package: squashfs-tools Version: 1:4.1-1 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/mksquashfs Tags: upstream
Please add support for rsync-friendly compression mode for mksquashfs. This should operate the same way like `gzip --rsyncable` does, and so would help to significantly reduce needed bandwith when synchronizing versioned filesystem images over network, or significantly reduce disk space when storing filesystem images under de-duplicating versioning backup archive such as bup[1].
