Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. Squashfs is
intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival use (i.e.
in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained block
device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is
needed. The filesystem is currently stable, and has been tested on
PowerPC, i586, Sparc and ARM architectures.
squashfs-tools are the set of tools to manipulate squashfs images.
===> The following configuration options are available for squashfs-tools-4.6.1_1:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
LZ4=on: LZ4 compression support
LZMA=on: LZMA1 compression support (obsolete)
LZO=on: LZO compression support
XZ=on: XZ (LZMA2) compression support
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: the port had been updated to version 4.6.1
This release fixes race condition which can cause corruption of the
"fragment table" (regression introduced in August 2022) and several
bugs with the extended attributes code.
On the port's side, garbage-collect patches merged upstream, follow
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently redirection in the WWW line, and add
missing dependency on `misc/help2man' so that manpages are properly
generated against configured compressors (selected options).
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.

sysutils/squashfs-tools: update the port to version 4.5.1 (finally)
This is a long-awaited release which fixes known security issue [1]
and regression when working with extended attributes [2].
Install more complete documentation set while here and GC no longer
needed CFLAGS+= and USE_CSTD knobs.
Security: CVE-2021-41072 [1]
PR: 256790 [2], 261334
Assume maintainership as we use it at work and hopefully would be able to
react to future updates and potential security issues slightly quicker.
Encouraged by: ashish (port creator and current/previous maintainer)
- Update to version 4.4 and unforbid
- Add LZ4 and ZSTD compression support
- Improve or drop option descriptions
- Convert to option helpers while here
Security: 317487c6-85ca-11eb-80fa-14dae938ec40
It seems some people keep adding $FreeBSD$ to patch files.
Patches must not be changed by the vcs, this includes the
svn:keyword expansion. Set fbsd:nokeywords to a couple of patches.

Add USES=alias to several ports
Alias is a new USES tool that allows DragonFly to masquerade as FreeBSD
by setting CFLAGS+= -D__FreeBSD__. For some ports, this fixes the build
without the need for additional patches.
