* Package name : partman-cros Version : 1 Upstream Author : Alper Nebi Yasak <alpernebiya...@gmail.com> * URL : http://salsa.debian.org/alpernebbi-guest/partman-cros * License : GPL-2.0+ Programming Lang: sh Description : Add partman support for ChromeOS kernel partitions This package provides a 'cros' partition method for partman. The firmware and bootloader used on ChromeOS systems require a special ChromeOS kernel partition created by this method. Creating partitions of this ChromeOS kernel type is one part of what's necessary for Debian installer to install a successfully bootable system on ChromeOS machines. This package is essentially a partman-prep fork for this partition type. It's probably already possible to create these partitions manually using e.g. parted-udeb and fdisk-udeb. But, this package does some checks to ensure the partition is in the right disk and offers a warning if the partition is not created (when that could lead to an unbootable system). It makes most sense to maintain this package under the installer team if they accept. I need a sponsor and will file an RFS soon.
