parted unblock, and upcoming transition
Could parted 1.8.8.git.2009.07.19-6 be unblocked, please? It's needed to smooth the path for parted 2.2 in the near future. Speaking of which, I would like to upload parted 2.2 to unstable (it's currently in experimental) once 1.8.8.git.2009.07.19-6 reaches testing. The reason to try to get this into squeeze is that without it we won't properly support "Advanced Format" (i.e. >512-byte logical sectors) hard drives, which are becoming increasingly common. There is an ABI transition involved, among the following source packages (maintainers CCed): devicekit-disks fatresize gnu-fdisk gparted libvirt partconf partitioner partitionmanager partman-base pyparted qtparted udisks I believe that all of these are trivial matters of changing build-dependencies, with the exception of fatresize which needs a fix to its configure script as well (already done upstream); some of these packages already had appropriate or nearly-appropriate versions in experimental, last I checked. We might want to let devicekit-disks/udisks get into testing first, but after that's done, would it be convenient to the release team and to the other maintainers CCed here to start this transition? I can supervise it, upload the d-i parts and the QA-maintained qtparted directly, and file bugs with patches as necessary for the others.
