Guillaume: i think you where not the one who submitted your patch at http://xilun666.free.fr/parted-1.6.6-hfs-9.patch for inclusion in the debian parted package, but could you have a look at this all the same ?
Hello, You have provided patches to be included in the debian parted packages, namely : hfs : http://svn.debian.org/viewcvs/parted/branches/1.6.12/debian/patches/hfs.dpatch?view=log&rev=11 sun_disklabel : http://svn.debian.org/viewcvs/parted/branches/1.6.12/debian/patches/sun_disklabel.dpatch?view=log&rev=11 s390 : http://svn.debian.org/viewcvs/parted/branches/1.6.12/debian/patches/s390.dpatch?view=log&rev=11 dvh_header : http://svn.debian.org/viewcvs/parted/branches/1.6.12/debian/patches/dvh_header.dpatch?view=log&rev=11 I have been preparing 1.6.12 packages, together with Fabio Tranchitella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> who will become part of the parted maintainer team. The above patches don't apply cleanly anymore to the 1.6.12 parted version, which among other things did include a fix about the messy geometry problem that is found in the 2.6 linux kernels, and thus breaks binary compatibility and changes soname, so this will not be for sarge. Still, could you have a look at the package found here : http://svn.debian.org/viewcvs/parted/branches/1.6.12/ and see if your patches are to be discarded because already submitted upstream, or need to be modified ? To help you, here is a subset of the ChangeLog file of parted upstream between 1.6.9 and 1.6.12 : 2004-09-15 Andrew Clausen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * released 1.6.12 2004-08-15 Andrew Clausen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * include/parted/device.h (PedDevice): replaced sectors, heads, cylinders with hw_geom and bios_geom. * libparted/disk_dos.c: rewrote to use better heuristics and have a more "subjective" view of CHS geometry. (i.e. each partition's "opinion" may differ now) * configure.in parted/Makefile.am: fixed linker invocation. Rumored to fix ppc64 build issues. Sent by Jeremy Katz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. 2004-06-26 Andrew Clausen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * libparted/disk_dos.c (read_table): big cleanup * libparted/disk_dos.c (read_table, process_bad_chs): now probes Microsoft file systems for BIOS CHS geometry. This idea was suggested by Steffen Winterfeldt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. 2004-06-21 Andrew Clausen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * libparted/disk_dvh.c: some cleanups and change to fill in all fields in the header from Eric Sandeen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 2004-06-16 Andrew Clausen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.c: bs->cluster_size is 8-bit; removed byteswap. Patch from John Gilmore [EMAIL PROTECTED] (thanks!) 2004-05-01 Andrew Clausen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * libparted/debug.c include/parted/debug.h (ped_assert): change prototype to have all (pointer) parameters to be const. (char* -> const char *) 2004-04-25 Andrew Clausen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * libparted/linux.c (linux_read, linux_write): don't do the kludge ioctl for linux >= 2.6.0. Patch from Matt Domsch. (Thanks!) * libparted/fs_reiserfs/geom_dal.c, libparted/geom.c, libparted/gnu.c, libparted/linux.c: trivial patch to move pointers dereferences after "not-NULL" assertions. Patch from Guillaume. (Thanks!) * released 1.6.11 2004-04-16 Andrew Clausen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * libparted/disk_mac.c (mac_alloc): fixed incorrect malloc() check ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) * libparted/linux.c (_device_get_sector_size): always return a sane value. * added new translation: it (thanks to Giuseppe Sacco) * added new translation: uk (thanks to Maxim V. Dziumanenko) * released 1.6.10 Also, with your aggreement, i will try to have those patches submitted upstream, so we have less of these problems in the future ?
