It is great that squashfs is finally in mainline kernel. But the

The latest tools in Debian (and the download page) are limited to version 3.4 but the upstream kernel version is 4.0!

Do we have a cart with no horse here?


The horse is currently in training, or to put it more mundanely, the
squashfs 4.0 tools are currently in Squashfs CVS :-)

I have been working on the 4.0 squashfs tools for the last couple of
months making them (mksquashfs and unsquashfs) ready for a supported
release. Now that Linux 2.6.29 has been released (3 hours ago), I
need to make this release ASAP, which as everything is almost finished,
should be sometime this week.
