parted 2.3-8ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

parted (2.3-8ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - gptsync.patch: On Intel Mac systems, write a synced MBR rather than a
      protective MBR.
    - Add -fno-stack-protector on sparc.
    - loop-partitions.patch: Loop devices can only have one partition, so
      don't generate device names such as "/dev/loop0p1".
    - udevadm-settle.patch: Run 'udevadm settle' either side of rereading
      the partition table if not chrooted, to avoid a variety of races.
    - dmraid.patch: Ensure that device-mapper devices for dmraid arrays do
      not have extra nodes created needlessly, as well as making sure that
      partition nodes for dmraid devices are not probed.
    - fix-head-size-assertion.patch: Fix probe_partition_for_geom() to fail
      gracefully rather than abort with PED_ASSERT().
    - dm_p_separator.patch: Device mapper type should not automatically mean
      add 'p' before the partition number.  Fall back to adding it only if
      the previous character is a digit.  This complies with kpartx behavior
      and Linux behavior "since the dawn of time".
    - remove-dev_t-dep.patch: Remove incorrect code from arch/linux.c that
      made assumptions about the meaning of dev_t causing mounted partitions
      to not be identified on dmraid devices and extended partition numbers
      >= 16.
  * Merge Matthew Garrett's dmidecode changes (from 2006!) to find SMBIOS
    tables on EFI systems.

parted (2.3-8) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Robert Millan ]
  * Add detection of ZFS volumes (closes: #635384).
  * Add detection of GEOM encryption devices (closes: #635393).

parted (2.3-7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use [linux-any] in debian/control rather than [!hurd-i386 !kfreebsd-i386
    !kfreebsd-amd64].
  * Remove libparted.la from libparted0-dev.
  * Convert to multiarch.

Binary packages built by this source

libparted0: disk partition manipulator - dummy package

 This is a dummy package providing smooth upgrades to
 libparted0debian1. You can safely remove it if no other
 package depends on it.

libparted0-dev: disk partition manipulator - development files

 GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
 move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
 for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
 to new hard disks.
 .
 This package contains the static library and header files for
 libparted, which are really only of interest to parted developers.

libparted0-i18n: disk partition manipulator - i18n support

 GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
 move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
 for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
 to new hard disks.
 .
 This package contains localization data.

libparted0-udeb: disk partition manipulator - library udeb

 GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
 move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
 for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
 to new hard disks.
 .
 This is a cut-down library package for use in debian-installer.

libparted0debian1: disk partition manipulator - shared library

 GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
 move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
 for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
 to new hard disks.
 .
 This package contains the shared library.

libparted0debian1-dbg: disk partition manipulator - debugging symbols

 GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
 move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
 for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
 to new hard disks.
 .
 This package contains the debugging static library for libparted,
 which is really only of interest to parted developers who need to
 debug their programs.
 .
 The debugging libraries are installed as /usr/lib/libparted_g.a
 Link specifically with them if you want to debug.

parted: disk partition manipulator

 GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
 move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
 for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
 to new hard disks.
 .
 This package contains the binary and manual page. Further
 documentation is available in parted-doc.
 .
 Parted currently supports DOS, Mac, Sun, BSD, GPT, MIPS, and PC98
 partitioning formats, as well as a "loop" (raw disk) type which
 allows use on RAID/LVM. It can detect and remove ASFS/AFFS/APFS,
 Btrfs, ext2/3/4, FAT16/32, HFS, JFS, linux-swap, UFS, XFS, and ZFS
 file systems. Parted also has the ability to create and modify file
 systems of some of these types, but using it to perform file system
 operations is now deprecated.
 .
 The nature of this software means that any bugs could cause massive
 data loss. While there are no such bugs known at the moment, they
 could exist, so please back up all important files before running
 it, and do so at your own risk.

parted-doc: disk partition manipulator - documentation

 GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
 move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
 for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
 to new hard disks.
 .
 This package contains user documentation for parted and API
 documentation for the library packages.
