Description niogic 2012-01-26 17:53:01 UTC 
If I make a custom image, say a liveUSB image, it would be nice to recompress image.squashfs sometimes.

If you allowed XZ for example one could put the live system in a smaller device.


So please configure squashfs-tools>=4.1 with lzma flag for the live environment.

USE=lzma in version >4.1 should give you XZ support. Maybe the USE flag ought to be renamed - it's there for historical reasons I guess.
Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-02-08 18:15:44 UTC 
Next time around, please use the package's metadata.xml to show you whom to assign bugs to.
Comment 3 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-02-08 18:22:37 UTC 
In 4.1 upstream still called XZ support "lzma", and this was improperly propagated to the 4.2 ebuild, it seems. I am working on changing IUSE=lzma to IUSE=xz now.
