These patches were rejected for the mainline kernel in 2010, +and so lzma1 support for Squashfs was abandoned. + +I have put these patches back up on kernel.org as a service to +owners that have embedded systems that use these legacy +lzma1 compressed Squashfs filesystems. Their use is deprecated for +anything else. + +The kernel version is 2.6.33-rc4 which was the kernel the patches +were prepared and tested against. I have no idea if the patches will +compile and work on later kernels. |
