Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2021-09-03 07:16:34 UTC
I read this is upstream README:
https://github.com/plougher/squashfs-tools/blob/master/README

2021-07-25 Important bug found in release.

A new point release will be forthcomming in the
next couple of days.  Sooner if no other release
bugs are reported.

I think the needed commit is:
https://github.com/plougher/squashfs-tools/commit/19b161c1cd3e31f7a396ea92dea4390ad43f27b9

It would be nice if the patch could be included in a revision... or maybe get a new snapshot (to also include https://github.com/plougher/squashfs-tools/commit/5f56f67f387805d2989c06d222502d293af3e406 ) 

Thanks a lot
