--- Begin Message ---Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Rogério Brito <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Package name : hfsprogs Version : 332 Upstream Author : Apple Computer Inc. * URL : http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4/ * License : APSL 2.0 Programming Lang: C Description : mkfs and fsck for HFS and HFS+ file systems This is taken from closed bug report at <http://bugs.debian.org/229769>. It seems that the package never actually materialized itself unfortunately. :-( - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The HFS+ file system used by Apple Computer for their Mac OS is now supported by the Linux kernel. I've had ample experience with the mkfs and fsck utilities for this file system in Linux, both from personal use and from reports of the users of my Debian package hfsplus. Right now, mkfs and fsck from this package are best described as nonexistent and totally unsuable, respectively. The upstream author has declared he is not going to develop these tools any further. So there goes another nice piece of free software. Of course, Apple provides mkfs and fsck for HFS+ with the Unix core of their operating system, Darwin. Experimental ports to Linux and FreeBSD exist, so I will start with the original Darwin source and these ports. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For those needing the executables, the best option up to now has been following <http://www.debian-administration.org/users/lee/weblog/21>, but a proper Debian package would be, of course, the preferred solution. There are more reasons for having this package in the archive, namely: As I see it, HFS+ seems to be a good compromise to carry files between MacOS X and Linux Machines (and Linux has already gotten hfsplus support in the kernel for a long time). HFS+ doesn't suffer the problems of FAT32 like: * huge space waste (in slack space as devices grow faster); * ability to create files that are more than 4GB in size (especially good for those working with multimedia and that need to carry large ISO files); * ability to use case sensitivity (but I don't know if this is already supported by the Linux Kernel); * ability to be a journaled filesystem (idem); * ability to use uid's ang gid's on the filesystem. Among others that I don't know. I plan on getting the newest changes/patches that I can, especially from other distributions, especially from gentoo (which already seems to have such HFS+ utilities available to their users). I think that Debian users in general (since Macs have gone ix86-64 and have also been available under PowerPC for ages) would benefit greatly from a filesystem that is not as limited as FAT32 as pointed out above. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21.5-1 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- Rogério Brito : [EMAIL PROTECTED],ime.usp}.br : GPG key 1024D/7C2CAEB8 http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito : http://meusite.mackenzie.com.br/rbrito Projects: algorithms.berlios.de : lame.sf.net : vrms.alioth.debian.orgsignature.asc
