# GoSquashfs
|
|
My playground to mess around with Squashfs in Go. Might turn into an actual library someday. Mainly for AppImage
|
|
|
|
Right Now it's mostly based on [distri's squashfs library](https://github.com/distr1/distri/tree/master/internal/squashfs)
|
|
|
|
Special thanks to https://dr-emann.github.io/squashfs/ for some VERY important information in an easy to understand format
|

# Ideas
|
|
* Link directly to squashfs-tool using cgo
|
|
* cgo can be a butt
|
|
* Would require the least amount of code for me to do
|
|
* Doing things in pure Go is definately highly superior
|
|
* Improve [distri's](https://github.com/distr1/distri) or [diskfs](https://github.com/diskfs/go-diskfs) squashfs library to meet my needs
|
|
* Both don't work at all ATM.
|
|
* distri's doesn't seem to support any sort of compression, which causes issues all over the place.
|
|
* diskfs seems closer, but the squashfs code is incomplete
|
|
* Create an original squashfs library
|
|
* MUCH more research needed
|
|
* Could look at [squashfs-tools'](https://github.com/plougher/squashfs-tools) code to help out
|
|
* Don't have to deal with other people's code :P
|
|
* Honestly a bit unnecessary based on how close distri & diskfs's code is AND how little I know about squashfs.
