Public bug reported:
bmaptool is a nice tool that allows you to reduce the amount of data
transferred onto a block device to a minimum, based on a map of
"meaningful data" spans.
With bigger and bigger memory cards the generated image will have more
and more blank space that will be written onto the device. bmaptool can
analyze the sparse image file and determine which blocks it has to copy,
and copy only those blocks, reducing time to flash by a huge factor. It
supports compressed images, too, so never have to waste time or space.
** Affects: goget-ubuntu-touch (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:

wear
