<p>add project proposal</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>; Proposer : Tim Bird<br /> <br /> ; Summary : Add support for LZO compression to SquashFS<br /> <br /> <br /> == Description ==<br /> SquashFS currently supports zlib and LZMA compression.<br /> LZO is another compression algorithm which has very<br /> good decompression speed. This would be useful for<br /> speeding up boot time and runtime operations on<br /> file systems based on this algorithm.<br /> <br /> Code which implements LZO decompression is already in<br /> the Linux kernel.<br /> <br /> == Related work ==<br /> Phillip Lougher has recently submitted patches to add LZMA<br /> compression to SquashFS to the kernel mailing list. In<br /> the process, it appears he is laying the groundwork for<br /> also adding LZO compression to SquashFS.<br /> See http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/65466/<br /> <br /> ; Scope : I would guess it would take about 2 months of work.<br /> <br /> == Comments ==<br /> <br /> [[Category:Project proposals]]</div>
