Hello Kyle, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux-mako into wily-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-
mako/3.4.0-7.41~15.10.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  [SRU] Enable squashfs support

Status in linux-mako package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux-mako source package in Vivid:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux-mako source package in Wily:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux-mako source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * The Snappy packaging format will soon move to utilizing a squashfs
  image per package. However, when that change happens such snaps will
  fail to install on the Mako due to squashfs support not being enabled.

  [Test Case]

   1. Install squashfs-tools.
   2. Create a directory containing generic data (e.g. a text file).
   3. Turn that directory into a squashfs image:

      $ mksquashfs <dir> foo.sqsh

   4. Attempt to mount that directory:

      $ sudo mount foo.sqsh /mnt

   5. Notice that without this patch, the mount fails due to an unknown
  filesystem type, whereas it succeeds with this patch applied, and
  contains the content created in step (2).

  [Regression Potential]

   * None known; this only enables squashfs.

  [Other Info]

   * These flags were simply copied from the current trusty config.
