Comment(by k...@…):
Are you planning to push this in shortly ? If you are, I'd appreciate
some more justification - BLFS already contains too many packages. If
something is an essential dependency for a package already in the book,
that might be a good enough reason. AFAICS, this provides limited
functionality and is designed to flag up that a disk reports itself as
failing. There is also a suggestion that distro installers can link
against it to avoid installing on a failing disk.
Only the other day, smartmontools was mentioned - just CMMI, provides the
*full* functionality, and encourages users to learn how to use it.
Note that I'm not against this per se, I'd never heard of it before. But
I do think we all have an obligation to justify adding a package to the
book. I also wonder if blfs-dev isn't a better place for discussion.
Anyway, looking at a gentoo ebuild told me the tarballs are at
