Add support for squashfs #667

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
This is a compressed filesystem that seems to be getting more popular, and it 
would be nice if it was implemented since I'm beginning to see a few files 
around that use it.

That sounds like a reasonable idea. Feel free to post links to information or 
source code related to it, to get things started.

Here's the original home page for it: http://squashfs.sourceforge.net/

I don't know how useful that would be, but it's all I could find.

It looks like there are four different versions of the format. Implementing it 
from scratch would probably be too much work to be worth it.

The source looks like it could be re-used, but it is licensed under the GPL, so 
it is incompatible with the LGPL The Unarchiver uses.

If anyone could convince the author to relicense it, it would be possible, 
though.
