Hi Gao,

Are there any new features/enhancements coming in erofs. Something that we
can contribute to?

P. S. - I saw your erofs roadmap pdf on github.

Thanks for your interest. As I mentioned before, I'm currently working on
adding a new XZ algorithm to erofs-utils because I'd like to make the
decompression framework more powerful and generic...

And there are many TODOs in the roadmap pdf, you can pick up something
if you have some time or you can raise up some new ideas. It's very
helpful to make EROFS better.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang

Hi Gao,

Thanks.
I am exploring following things in erofs:
1) Sparse file support for uncompressed files.
2) erofs.fsck(erofs-utils)

I hope above items are in the development plan & patches are accepted for
them :)

Yes, they are definitely in the development plan, it would be appreciated
that you take some time to get them in shape if you have time. :-)

You can post RFC patch at any time, I will help on this as well.
For erofs.fsck (erofs-utils), it's better to share most common code in
"lib/" with mkfs.erofs.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
