Hi, I published an early 0.5 release based on the latest "stable point" of the git tree:
https://infraroot.at/pub/squashfs/squashfs-tools-ng-0.5.tar.xz The stable point has been chosen to be right after fixing stuff from multiple hours of chewing on the Debian live CD squashfs image and pushing the Coverity defect density below 0.1, and right before starting on a new feature that isn't quite stable yet. It doesn't contain everything I wanted for this release but at least it contains the important fixes and the updated README. If there really is a dispute now over the *two sentences* from the description in the control file, how about this: > New set of tools for working with SquashFS images > > SquashFS is a highly compressed read-only filesystem for Linux, optimized > for small size and high packing density. It is widely used in embedded > systems and bootable live media. > > SquashFS supports many different compression formats, such as zstd, xz, > zlib or lzo for both data and metadata compression. It has many features > expected from popular filesystems, such as extended attributes and support > for NFS export. > > As the name suggests, this is not the original user space tooling for > SquashFS. Here are some of the features that primarily distinguish this > package from the original: > - reproducible, deterministic packing without any local time stamps, > - Linux `gen_init_cpio` like file listing for micro managing the > file system contents, permissions, and ownership without having to > replicate the file system (and especially permissions) locally, > - support for SELinux contexts file (see selabel_file(5)) to generate > SELinux labels. > - support for directly turning a tarball into a SquashFS image and back Regards, David
