Package: parted Version: 2.3-20 Severity: wishlist Hello,
thank you for packaging parted. I currently have this in a deploy script: DISK=`find_disk` while read -r cmd; do parted -s -a optimal $DISK $cmd; done < commands.txt that while loop works around parted only accepting script commands on the command line. I wish I could do this: DISK=`find_disk` parted -s -a optimal $DISK read commands.txt or this: DISK=`find_disk` compute_parted_commands | parted -s -a optimal $DISK read - I understand that running each command in its own invocation makes it possible to know which command exactly failed. In my case, though, I work on an all-or-nothing situation: either the disk ends up partitioned how we need it, or the installation procedure alarms[1] and halts. Enrico [1] it really does: it even plays a morse code SOS on the PC speaker :) -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages parted depends on: ii libc6 2.19-4 ii libparted0debian1 2.3-20 ii libreadline6 6.3-6 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140118-1 parted recommends no packages.
