Package: cramfsprogs
Version: 1.1-5
Severity: normal

I have a tree with over 200,000 files that will be able to compress down
to a size that cramfs can handle.  These files will tend to have similar
sizes.

mkcramfs has been chugging on this for hours and has still not written a
single byte of output.

Looking at the source, it appears that it opens every input file of the
same size as every other input file of that size, and compares their
contents.

This is hideous.  If I wanted the files matched like that, I'd hardlink
them.

Not only that, but it could at least read all files once and store
md5sums for them or something.

Better yet, it should have a switch to disable this overagressive check.
