Great! I have read the issue again and the patch idea seems ok. > I have tested softraid working on sparc.

Thx for the link. What needs to be done for this fix to "go in" to parted is two things: a. the patch needs to exist b. the test for the issue needs to exists. For a. One needs to create a patch using git and send it to the list using git-format-patch. In that way it can easily be included in the SRCs and your authorship will be maintained. For 6 at least I did not find said patch, I have not yet looked at 7. For b. One needs to create a test file in the /test directory that will prove that the issue is resolved. like create a softraid and then list the partitions and make sure that md-0 is not listed. Its not allways easy because the test should run in a special contained maner. If you have provided these two things (a and b), pls show me where they are. If you have not provided them, it would be a great help for the 1.9.0 effort if you did so. It would save me two issues to worry about and I could skip to 8... and we could be done before the end of the week (hopefully) If I have missunderstood your proposal, pls be so kind and correct me :) Regards. PS: you can ask for help with a and b in #parted (freenode). Im in Central Europe, but I know otavio and others are in the americas and can help you out. -- Joel Andres Granados Brno, Czech Republic, Red Hat. _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
