Hi, First, I haven't managed to find a sponsor to upload versions since 0.5.1, this why the version in testing and unstable is quite far from upstream.
I already have contacted upstream to know the severity of known bugs between 0.5.1 and last 0.6.13. Here is his list: Critical bug fixed since 0.5.1: -------------------- - segfault and/or produce corrupt partition tables on PowerPC (and probably other big-endian) CPUs (6699b01eda84d24bfaf80ad725304fef2b0e1b2a, 21 files changed). Importants bugs: -------------------- - Added support for disks with other than 512-byte logical sectors. - Changed sector alignment policies to improve performance on Advanced Format disks and some hardware RAID arrays. - GUID generation improved; now technically correct, vs. just plain random in 0.5.1. - Some bad partition tables could produce segfaults. - Fixed backward interpretation of attributes. Moderate bugs : -------------------- - Fixed a bug affecting the display of GUID values with some versions of GCC. - Improved handling of damaged GPT data structures. - Improved detection of problems with MBR data structures in the verify function. As the critical bug (at least) seems to be not very trivial to backport, the best is maybe to upload a new vesion.
