Bug ID: 2242838
Summary: Review Request: squashfs-tools-ng - A new set of tools
and libraries for working with SquashFS images
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Component: Package Review
Severity: medium
Priority: medium
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
Spec URL: https://dctrud.fedorapeople.org/squashfs-tools-ng.spec
SRPM URL:
https://dctrud.fedorapeople.org/squashfs-tools-ng-1.2.0-1.fc40.src.rpm
Description: Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux.
This package contains modified utilities for manipulating squashfs filesystems.
Fedora Account System Username: dctrud
squashfs-tools-ng supplies alternative binaries, and a library, for
manipulating SquashFS filesystem images. It was branched from squashfs-tools
some time ago, and is developed independently:
https://github.com/AgentD/squashfs-tools-ng
One of the aims of packaging squashfs-tools-ng in Fedora is that it can
subsequently be added to EPEL. The older versions of squashfs-tools in EL
distros are missing functionality present in newer squashfs-tools versions in
Fedora. Having squashfs-tools-ng packaged would offer a route to providing
similar functionality, given that squashfs-tools will not be upgraded in EL
distros.
Ultimately, this will allow packaging of the 4.0.0 version of SingularityCE in
EPEL which depends on either squashfs-tools-ng, or a recent squashfs-tools.
