That's not the question of pointless resistranceThat's not the question of pointless resistrancePosted Oct 30, 2008 10:46 UTC (Thu) by khim (subscriber, #9252)In reply to: Squashfs submitted for the mainline by Tuxie Parent article: Squashfs submitted for the mainline
Squashfs with LZMA support includes all this code in filesystem itself and that's "just wrong(tm)". It must be available for other pieces of kernel as well. I suppose squashfs developers can do this - but that's move patch from "yet-another-filesystem-patch" (easy to get approval and integrate) to "yet-another-patch-with-changes-to-core-API" (much harder to process). So the split is right. I sure hope developers will not stop at just adding squashfs but will proceed with LZMA support as well, but... later.
