2020-04-27gensquashfs: Add options to globally override UID/GID valuesDavid Oberhollenzer
A common use case for mksquashfs is to simply pack a directory and set a magic option to force all user/group IDs to root. This commit adds similar options to gensquashfs to maek it better suited as a direct replacement for packing an input directory. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2020-01-19Update explanation on directory index accountingDavid Oberhollenzer
Tests with the Debian image (which is generated with squashfs-tools, so should be interpreted as ground truth) have showed that the count is not stored off-by-one. The code was already doing the right thing, but the documentation was wrong. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2019-12-22Add hard link support to gensquashfs and tar2sqfsDavid Oberhollenzer
In libtar, set a special flag if the header is actually a hard link. In tar2sqfs, create a hard link node and skip the rest for hard links. Also refues to set the root attributes from a hard link, it may refere to a node that we have missed earlier, there is nothing else that we can do here. In fstree_from_file, add a "link" command for adding hard links. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2019-09-20Remove parallel unpackingDavid Oberhollenzer
Parallel unpacking didn't really improve the speed that much. Actually sorting the files for optimized unpack order improved speed much more than the parallel unpacker. Furthermore, the fork based parallel unpacker was actually pretty messy to begin with. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2019-08-02Implement support for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variableDavid Oberhollenzer
reproducible-builds.org suggests the use of an environment variable as a source for time stamps: https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/ This commit adds support for setting the default mtime from the variable, if it is set and only defaulting to 0 if not. The timestamp given by the command line switch takes precedence. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>

2019-07-22Add a way to optionally keep the original time stampsDavid Oberhollenzer
First of all, this commit adds a mod_time field to a tree node. When creating the tree node, the field is set from the struct stat. When scanning a directory, the time stamps from the input are used if set. Second, the libsqfs code that reads inodes is modified to store the mod_time from the inode in the fstree node and to write the tree node into a generated inode. Finally, tar2sqfs is modified to optionally keep the timestamps from the tar archive instead of setting defaults. gensquashfs is similarly modified to keep the input timestamps if specified. The result is as follows: - sqfs2tar will always carry the timestamps from the squashfs over to the tar ball. - tar2sqfs will set defaults, unless explicitly asked to preserve the mtime from the tar ball. - gensquashfs can optionally preserve the mtime from the input hierarchy it processes if only --pack-dir is specified.

2019-07-17fstree: add support for spaces in filenamesDavid Oberhollenzer
This commit adds a mechanism to fstree_from_file to support filenames with spaces in them by quoting the entire string. Quote marks can still be used inside file names by escaping them with a backslash. Back slashes (if that is your thing) can also be escaped.
