Public bug reported: squashfs-tools upstream hasn't changed in a while but a number of bugfixes are applied through packaging in Debian and Ubuntu.
The bionic and cosmic versions right now are identical but xenial is missing a few fixes which is a problem for the LXD snap among other things. Looking at debian/series/patches, the fixes currently missing in the xenial version are: - 0007-fix-2GB-limit-in-mksquashfs.patch - 0008-preserve_file_capabilities.patch I'll attach test cases for both of those below and then will prepare an SRU that effectively makes the source package identical to what we have in bionic, minus the different changelog. This should be pretty safe considering both Ubuntu and Debian have been shipping those two patches for a while and the fs caps one is going to be pretty important moving forward as we're discussing having Ubuntu ship with fscaps by default. ** Affects: squashfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Affects: squashfs-tools (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: High Assignee: Stéphane Graber (stgraber) Status: Triaged ** Also affects: squashfs-tools (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: squashfs-tools (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: squashfs-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released ** Changed in: squashfs-tools (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: squashfs-tools (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Stéphane Graber (stgraber) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.
