partman-base (141ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
- Ubiquity integration: If PARTMAN_NO_COMMIT is set, then exit rather
than running commit.d and finish.d scripts; add a partman-commit
script; dump extra information to /var/lib/partman/snoop if
PARTMAN_SNOOP is set; check for per-menu 'no_show_choices' file in
ask_user and don't reshow the menu if it exists.
- Don't skip over dmraid devices if the user chooses not to activate
them.
- If the only thing mounted on a disk is the installation medium and it
uses more or less the whole disk, then silently exclude that disk; if
the installation medium is mounted but doesn't use the whole disk,
issue a warning that partitioning may be difficult; if anything else
is mounted, offer to unmount it. partman/filter_mounted=false disables
this.
- Use ext4 as the default filesystem for new partitions.
- Build with -O2 on powerpc to avoid a suspected toolchain bug.
* Remove cleanup trap in partman-commit, whose only effect is to break
repeated runs of partman-commit (LP: #536673).
partman-base (141) unstable; urgency=low
* parted 2.1 changed the semantics of ped_disk_clobber: it now zeroes out
the first few and last few sectors of the disk, regardless of whether
there appears to be a valid partition table on it. Unfortunately, this
means that creating a filesystem on a whole disk device and then calling
ped_disk_commit_to_dev zeroes the filesystem header we just created. To
avoid this, call ped_disk_commit_to_dev only if the partition doesn't
start at sector zero (LP: #539324, #549260).
* Check return values from asprintf for memory allocation failures.
* Ignore free space smaller than the grain size of the partition creation
constraint, rather than only free space smaller than a cylinder.
* Always leave a small gap at the end of the disk (except on device-mapper
devices), to avoid confusing mdadm by leaving the MD 0.90 superblock at
the end of the disk as well as the end of a partition (LP: #527401).
* Allow preseeding partman/alignment to "cylinder", "minimal", or
"optimal"; "cylinder" restores old alignment behaviour for the benefit
of those with crotchety BIOSes, while "optimal" is the default.
* Don't apply optimal alignment to extended partitions (LP: #558382).

* Don't warn about data loss on formatted/removed partitions when there
are no such partitions (LP: #151266).
* Build against parted 2.2.
* Use linux-swap(v1) instead of linux-swap(new) to reflect changes to
parted (thanks, Evan Dandrea; closes: #539908).
* Apply optimal alignment constraints to new partitions, or when
maximising an extended partition (LP: #530071).
* Add an ALIGNMENT_OFFSET command which can be used to detect whether a
partition is misaligned.
