SquashFS is a highly compressed, read-only file system often used as
a root file system on embedded devices, live systems, or simply as a
compressed archive format.
This project originally started out as a fork of squashfs-tools 4.3,
after encountering some short comings and realizing that there have
been no updates on the SourceForge site or mailing list for a long
time. Even before the first public release, the fork was replaced
with a complete re-write after growing frustrated with the existing
code base.
The utilities provided by squashfs-tools-ng offer alternative tooling
and are intentionally named differently, so both packages can be
installed side by side.
The actual guts of squashfs-tools-ng are encapsulated in a library
with a generic API designed to make SquashFS available to other
applications as an embeddable, extensible archive format (or simply
to read, write, or manipulate SquashFS file systems).
===> The following configuration options are available for squashfs-tools-ng-1.3.2:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
LZ4=on: LZ4 compression support
LZO=on: LZO compression support
TOOLS=on: Build the tools, not just the library
ZSTD=on: Zstandard compression support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
filesystems: add new category for file systems and related utilities
The filesystems category houses file systems and file system utilities.
It is added mainly to turn the sysutils/fusefs-* pseudo-category into
a proper one, but is also useful for the sundry of other file systems
related ports found in the tree.
Ports that seem like they belong there are moved to the new category.
Two ports, sysutils/fusefs-funionfs and sysutils/fusefs-fusepak are
not moved as they currently don't fetch and don't have TIMESTAMP set
in their distinfo, but that is required to be able to push a rename
of the port by the pre-receive hook.

sysutils/squashfs-tools-ng: update the port to version 1.3.0
Pull one upstream patch which had been omitted from this release
for some reason so that gensquashfs(1) can apply xattr file also
when using a pack file.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
