Attached is a changelog and a PKGBUILD for the recently released
util-linux 2.19. Changes I've made to the PKGBUILD:
- name change: the project is once again called util-linux. I've updated
the conflicts accordingly, and removed the ancient reference to
linux32. I think its worth keeping the versioned conflict with
e2fsprogs.
- remove install scriptlet: this info file is no longer provided
- use autogen.sh script instead of manually invoking autotools
- remove --enable-rdev flag. this has been non-existant since 2.17
- no need to rm stuff in package() -- these files are no longer part of
util-linux
Other thoughts: If we build this with --enable-libmount-mount, we can do
away with /etc/mtab and make it a symlink to /proc/self/mounts. It is,
however, marked as experimental in the release notes.
I've been running the -git version of util-linux for about a month now,
and have had no problems with low level functionality e.g. booting or
mounting.
thanks,
dave

Util-linux 2.19 Release Notes (10-Feb-2011)
===========================================
The util-linux-ng project has been renamed back to util-linux.
Release highlights
------------------
lsblk(8):
- this NEW COMMAND lists information about all or selected block devices in
tree-like format.
partx(8):
- this command has been rewritten to use libblkid for partition tables
parsing. It supports aix, bsd, dos, gpt, mac, minix, sgi, solaris_x86, sun,
ultrix and unixware now.
- supports new command line option "--show" to list partitions in new format
- prints UUID and name for GPT and mac partitions
findmnt(8):
- supports new command line option "--submounts" to list all submounts for
selected mountpoint(s)
agetty(8):
- supports new command line options "-c" and "-s" to reuse already initialized
tty cflags and existing baud rate
mount(8), umount(8):
- could be linked with libmount (--enable-libmount-mount) to manage userspace
mount options outside /etc/mtab on systems where the file is a symlink to
/proc/mounts. (EXPERIMENTAL)
losetup(8), mount(8):
- uses /sys/dev/block/<device>/loop/backing_file rather than loopdev ioctls
(requires kernel >= 2.6.37)
fsck(8):
- supports new command line option "-l" to lock whole-disk device by
exclusive flock(2). This option is recommended when more fsck(8) instances
are executed in the same time.
rtcwake(8):
- supports new mode "show" to print the current RTC alarm time
fstrim(8):
- this NEW COMMAND allows to discard unused blocks on a mounted filesystem
(wrapper for FITRIM ioctl)
swapon(8):
- supports new options "discard" and "nofail"
blkid(8):
- low-level probing (-p) returns "8" exit code for ambivalent probing results
libmount:
- include file has been renamed from mount/mount.h to libmount/libmount.h
