Requires: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Standard Red Hat 6.1 installation -------------------------------------------------------------------- %CHANGELOG * Mon Apr 17 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com> [parted-1.0.14-1] - Parted boot disk image now available from GNU ftp sites in gnu/parted/bootdisk. - renamed PedExceptionClass, and PedException's member class to PedExceptionType and type, to avoid clashes with C++. - changed configure.in: now refuses to attempt to build included gettext. Gives appropriate (hopefully ;-) advice on how to fix the problem... - uses SCSI_BLK_MAJOR rather than SCSI_DISK_MAJOR * Mon Apr 10 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com> [parted-1.0.13-1] - did lots more testing. All seems well ;-) - finally discovered that BLKSSZGET is broken < 2.3.3. Andries Brouwer suggests using, only if <linux/blkpg.h> exists. - added doc/USER.jp (Japanese translation of doc/USER). (Thanks Ryoji!) - fixed severe bug: fat_convert_directory(): new_trav and old_trav went out of sync, in some circumstances!!! OUCH!!! (Probably didn't show up on 99.9% people's systems, because it usually will either be out-by-zero or out-by>=two. In both cases, there would be no problems) - fixed severe bug: fs_info->root_dir_entry_count should be set when converting FAT32 -> FAT16. OUCH!!! Why no bug reports??!! - restructured libparted/device.c somewhat. Now uses BLKGETSIZE ioctl to get size of device, which can address 2 ^ (32 + 9) == 2048Gb. - ped_partition_is_busy() in libparted/disk.c now checks /proc/swaps as well as /proc/mounts. - warns very strongly that Parted isn't good with sector size != 512 bytes, in fat code (libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.c) * Tue Mar 28 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com> [parted-1.0.12-1] - now tells the kernel to keep trying to read the partition table. (patch from Fernando Fuganti) - fixed boot loader code, and uncommented code to install it. [parted-1.0.11-1] - moved parted.8 to doc/ directory - moved documentation into doc/ directory. Changed licence of documentation to the GNU Free Documentation Licence 1.1. - now checks /proc/mounts (if available) for testing if a partition is mounted. - fixed minor bug in mkpartfs command parsing. - #include <sys/sysmacros.h> directly. * Tue Feb 29 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com> [parted-1.0.10-1] - fixed buffer overflow bug in ext2_mkfs - fixed bug in ped_malloc(), so running out of memory will fail cleanly - made ped_exception_throw() use malloc(), to prevent infinite recursion. - now warns the user about system files that may be unmovable - found out semantics for drives that are slightly longer than C*H*S: last bit is simply ignored... adjusted probe_real_geom() to match behaviour - added probe_acceptable_geom() - added docs for Windows NT/2000 (largely contributed by Stefan Kanthak) - added Dutch translations (contributed by Ivo Timmermans) - made process_inconsistent_table() a bit more leanient. * Thu Feb 17 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com> [parted-1.0.9-4] - Made a seperate package containing a version of the binary built with the --without-readline and --disable-nls options to ./configure. This will allow the binary to be used on a boot/rescue disk. The use of a boot disk is essential when resizing /. ================================================================== RPMs are built on a Pentium II 450mhz w/98megs RAM with RedHat 6.1 plus updates from ftp://updates.redhat.com installed.
