** Description changed: Availability ============ Built for all supported architectures. In sync with Debian. Rationale ========= udisks2 2.7 uses the "libblockdev library for all low level storage management tasks instead of calling command line tools." libblockdev appears to have the same maintainers ("storaged project") as udisks2. It would be nice to have the new version to support GNOME Disks 3.26's new Resize and Repair features. http://pothos.blogsport.eu/2017/08/22/last-project-phase-and-3-26-features/ There is some interest in dropping Gparted from the Ubuntu live ISO since it does not support Wayland and it still uses gtk2.
