Package: gdisk Version: 1.0.3-1.1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
A new upstream version 1.0.4 was released for gdisk more than a year ago. Upstream's changelog suggest it's worth to pick it: +1.0.4 (7/5/2018): +----------------- + +- Added some explicit copy constructors and made some other tweaks to avoid + compiler warnings. + +- The macOS binary for sgdisk is now a pure 64-bit build; I'm no longer + supporting 32-bit builds of sgdisk. The gdisk and cgdisk binaries remain + "fat" 32-/64-bit builds. The reason for dropping the 32-bit support from + sgdisk is that I've re-built my macOS development system, and I had + trouble building a "fat" binary with the fresh install of the popt + libraries upon which sgdisk relies. 32-bit support for the other binaries + is now officially deprecated, too. + +- Added search feature to partition type list functions ("L" on main menu of + gdisk and "L" when entered in response to the "Hex code or GUID" prompt in + gdisk and sgdisk). This feature filters the partition type list to those + which include the search term in their GPT fdisk descriptions. For + instance, typing "Linux" shows only partitions with "Linux" in their + descriptions. Note that the search/filter is case-sensitive. If <Enter> is + pressed, no filter is applied. + +- Change to Makefile.mac to use standard libncurses rather than a 3rd-party + version; should help with cgdisk compatibility. + +- Minor bug fix in alignment of internal data structures. + +- Minor bug fix in handling of damaged disks. + +- Added type code for Apple APFS (7C3457EF-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC, + 0xaf0a). + +- Added type code for Atari TOS basic data (0xa200, + 734E5AFE-F61A-11E6-BC64-92361F002671). + +- Added type codes for Linux dm-crypt (0x8308, + 7FFEC5C9-2D00-49B7-8941-3EA10A5586B7) and LUKS (0x8309, + CA7D7CCB-63ED-4C53-861C-1742536059CC) partitions. + +- Added 18 Ceph partition type codes. + +- Added 52 (yes, 52!) Android partition type codes. + +- Changed "Creating new GPT entries" message to read "Creating new + GPT entries in memory" because the latter is clearer, particularly when + using sgdisk with a non-destructive option, like "-p".
