Comment on attachment 355220 [details, diff] squashfs-tools-4.2_p20130321.ebuild.patch That's not going to happen. What would probably work quite well is gather up the patches they introduced there and see what we need (look at bug #427356 for instance).
Since apperantly you already have contact with upstream: I'd suggest to convince him to tag "stable" releases: This way stable tarballs (with fixed checksum) could be downloaded.
And upstream isn't dead - [1] has seen recent work so maybe we can cherry-pick what we need for the remaining open bugs and go to stable with that soonish. [1] http://sourceforge.net/p/squashfs/code/ci/master/tree/squashfs-tools/
But isn't the kernel.org git the real upstream ? https://git.kernel.org/cgit/fs/squashfs/squashfs-tools.git/tree/squashfs-tools?h=stable This seems to be better maintained. Phillip Lougher marks there from time to time "stable" . But yet I don't know if this is meant as a release?
--- printf("unsquashfs version 4.2-git-stable (2013/06/21)\n");\ --- git checkout stable gave me a new release: 4.2_p20130621
