Upgrade parted to 2.1 for Fedora-13 ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

I was planning on staying with parted-1.9.0 + the load
of patches we are carry-ing for now, but given bug 553518, we
might need to reconsider this.

So I'm now thinking about upgrading parted to 2.1
for Fedora 13 and maybe also for RHEL-6 (we also
have a RHEL-6 bug about 4k sectors: bug 523954).

Upgrading to 2.1 also has the advantage that it has
much robuster gpt support.

I only have 2 worries:
1) All my recent dasd patches have been forward
ported, and some tests have been run to make sure
dasd support works, still we may see some regressions
there (but nothing that should be unfixable, as there
are no major differences in the dasd support).

2) All libparted users will need to be rebuild as
the soname will change (the API is presevered, so a
simple rebuild will suffice):
[hans@localhost ~]$ repoquery -q --whatrequires 'libparted-1.9.so.0()(64bit)'
gparted-0:0.4.6-1.fc12.x86_64
qtparted-0:0.4.5-22.fc12.x86_64
DeviceKit-disks-0:009-3.fc12.x86_64
pyparted-0:2.1.2-1.fc12.x86_64
gparted-0:0.4.8-1.fc12.x86_64
kde-partitionmanager-0:1.0.0-2.fc12.x86_64
libvirt-0:0.7.1-15.fc12.x86_64

Regards,

Hans
