Subject: Documentation: update the Squashfs filesystem documentation
Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2024 23:37:51 +0000
This patch updates the following which are out of date.
- Zstd has been added to the compression algorithms supported.
- The filesystem mailing list (for the kernel code) is changed to
linux-fsdevel rather than the now very little used Sourceforge
mailing list.
- The Squashfs website has been changed to the Squashfs-tools github
repository.
- The fact that Squashfs-tools is likely packaged by the linux
distribution is mentioned.
