Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Documentation: update the Squashfs filesystem documentation
Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2024 23:37:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241229233752.54481-4-phillip@squashfs.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241229233752.54481-1-phillip@squashfs.org.uk>

This patch updates the following which are out of date.

- Zstd has been added to the compression algorithms supported.
- The filesystem mailing list (for the kernel code) is changed to
  linux-fsdevel rather than the now very little used Sourceforge
  mailing list.
- The Squashfs website has been changed to the Squashfs-tools github
  repository.
- The fact that Squashfs-tools is likely packaged by the linux
  distribution is mentioned.
