The repo at github is dead, I only used it during the time kernel.org
was offline due to the hack.

The repo at kernel.org is the official repo.  It hasn't been updated in a while
simply because the tools are considered stable, and I have not had a burning
desire to add new features for a while.

Well from a quick look at the attached patches, I see no reason
not to pull them.

I'll have a look over at github because is the first I've seen of these
patches, and I'll see if I can pull them from there.

If not, I'll ask the author to send them to me at this address.

Phillip@lougher.demon.co.uk is dead because my ISP arbitrarily ceased
email support sometime ago (and I'd had that email for 20 years).
It would appear phillip@squashfs,org.uk is still redirected to that,
and I'll fix that.

Hello Phillip,

Good to hear from you. When the emails bounced, I was wondering if you are still
active or not.

Great. The author (probono AT puredarwin.org) is copied on this email.

I used to maintain my own mail server but eventually gave up (amount of spam
kept the machine alive all the while) and switched to GApps.
