Description:   Opened: 2006-03-20 11:50 0000 
Since gentoo-sources 2.6.16 has the new squashfs 3.0 patch, we need
squashfs-tools stabilized at the same time.

------- Comment #1 From Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-04-22 18:32:37 0000 ------- 
I've marked x86 stable.  Other arches, please do the same when marking
gentoo-sources 2.6.16 stable.

------- Comment #2 From Markus Rothe 2006-04-22 23:07:31 0000 ------- 
stable on ppc64

------- Comment #3 From Joe Jezak 2006-04-30 19:52:55 0000 ------- 
Marked ppc stable.

------- Comment #4 From Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) 2006-05-02 10:39:56 0000 ------- 
sparc stable since 2.4.32-sparc-r4 has squash3 (and gs-2.6.16-r4+ went ~sparc).

------- Comment #5 From Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-05-09 14:17:24 0000 ------- 
Stable on amd64

------- Comment #6 From Alexandre Oliveira 2006-05-10 03:43:03 0000 ------- 
It seems that ther are some problems with the squashfs 3.0

As we can see in squashfs bugs page :

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1454647&group_id=63835&atid=505341

In three of my gentoo system where I use squashfs with unionfs to save space
and I/O, i experience the same bug with gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r3 so I reverted
to squashfs 2.1

------- Comment #7 From Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-05-10 05:49:49 0000 ------- 
I have built *several* CD images on multiple architectures now, using squashfs
3.0 and squashfs-tools 3.0 and had no issues.  Perhaps some more information
(preferably on a separate bug) would be in order, since I cannot reproduce this
on any platform I've tested it on so far.

According to http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3464655.html#3464655 and
http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-catalyst@lists.gentoo.org/msg00163.html
sys-fs/squashfs-tools-3.0 need a kernel >= 2.6.16. 

Shouldn't there be an appropriate RDEPEND in the ebuild before stablising it?
(Yes, I've read the summary but I thought this should have been implemented
before the stabilisation request?)

------- Comment #9 From Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-07-24 08:06:26 0000 ------- 
Nope.

See, squashfs-tools doesn't require *any* kernel version to run.  It will
happily build a squashfs image no matter what your kernel version happens to
be.  In fact, it'll even create an image if your kernel doesn't have squashfs
support.

Now, being able to decompress that image in the kernel is completely
independent of this bug, and is what you seem to be pointing to as a problem. 
Anyway, the dependencies are correct.

Well, arm and ia64 are already stable.  Alpha/HPPA, please test this.  All you
need to do is verify that it can create a proper squashfs image, since this is
just the userland portion.

------- Comment #11 From Raúl Porcel 2006-09-05 05:19:57 0000 ------- 
hppa done

------- Comment #12 From Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2007-02-14 00:30:48 0000 ------- 
Alpha has a higher version stable now, so marking RESOLVED.
