+From: Sean Purcell <me@seanp.xyz>
+Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2017 17:47:03 -0700
+Subject: [PATCH v6] squashfs-tools: Add zstd support
+
+This patch adds zstd support to squashfs-tools. It works with zstd
+versions >= 1.0.0. It was originally written by Sean Purcell.
+
+Signed-off-by: Sean Purcell <me@seanp.xyz>
+Signed-off-by: Nick Terrell <terrelln@fb.com>
+---
+v4 -> v5:
+- Fix patch documentation to reflect that Sean Purcell is the author
+- Don't strip trailing whitespace of unreleated code
+- Make zstd_display_options() static
+
+v5 -> v6:
+- Fix build instructions in Makefile
