Package: gdisk
Version: 0.7.2-1
Severity: minor
Package description says:
Description: GPT fdisk text-mode partitioning tool
GPT fdisk (aka gdisk) is a text-mode partitioning
tool for Intel-based Linux that works on Globally
Unique Identifier (GUID) Partition Table (GPT)
disks, rather than on the more common (through 2009)
Master Boot Record (MBR) partition tables.
.
Please note that gdisk is still in beta version.
Hovewer it is not true that gdisk is tool for Intel-based
Linux. It works on all Debian architectures, and probably also
not only Linux (other Unix systems, like Hurd and kFreeBSD,
and maybe even more will also work). Also GPT
is not restricted in anyway to Intel (or Intel-compatible)
machines. By Intel I mean (and probably author of description
also meaned) IA-32 and EMT64/AMD64, AMD clones,
and other compatible hardware (VIA, etc.),
this exludes IA-64 (Itanium), and other architectures.
However of course GPT is independed of architecture,
and similary gdisk program is quite portable, so it is
also independed of architecture, and even operating
system kernel, or even storage system (SATA, PATA, USB, iSCSI,
SCSI, etc. etc.).
AFAIK GPT is already used on some PowerPC and SPARC
and ARM systems (some of them even nativly can boot from them).
I also use it on Alpha architecture, mostly for use
with big hard drives.
I propose to remove words "for Intel-based Linux"
completly. Remaining description is still valid and
better describe what gdisk is. ;)
Just my $0.02.
Regards,
Witek
