gpart in sysutils/gpart stands for 'guess partitions'. Its an old, but

I've added two patches to make it work on amd64, bumped the expiration
date and port revision (to 2), but I'm not sure if it can detect all
relevant partition types yet. It detects my BSD UFS partitions, but not
my Windows 7 NTFS partitions, and it would probably also need ZFS
detection.
I can confirm that it builds and install on amd64 again.
Newer partition types are not known to sysutils/gpart. For me it is a
useful tools to repair (older) servers with Win2000 or something like
that. In some cases it was the only tool, which was able to reconstruct
destroyed partition tables.
If someone is willing to update the port: I have an original tarball
'gpart-0.1h.tar.gz'. It would need a new home ;-)
Is that tarball different from what's on sunsite and currently fetched
by the port?
I compared it against my old distfile and all seems fine:
ls -l old/gpart-0.1h.tar.gz new/gpart-0.1h.tar.gz
52357 15 Feb 19:24:06 2001 old/gpart-0.1h.tar.gz
52357 15 Feb 19:24:06 2001 new/gpart-0.1h.tar.gz
SHA256 (old/gpart-0.1h.tar.gz) =
b542bceb1a778c719304dadae5dbc2a8bd7f195c06774933e7255b98cfa46ee3
SHA256 (new/gpart-0.1h.tar.gz) =
b542bceb1a778c719304dadae5dbc2a8bd7f195c06774933e7255b98cfa46ee3
The updated port is still marked as deprecated. Do you plan to change
this back?
Rainer
Best regards
Matthias
