I think f2fs-tools is getting much firmer lib APIs, so don't expect frequent major updates on library versions, but was struggling to keep it as much as possible tho. I'm checking the final test results, and thus, planning to release 1.11.1 within a week or so. In this release, I'm seeing that it requires to bump revision like libf2fs-5.1.0, and libf2fs-format-4.1.0. > > I was about to send the Debian maintainer of android-libf2fs-utils > package a ping asking him or her to relink against the latest so > versions --- libf2fs.so.5 and libf2fs-format.so.4.

Yeah, I think that'd be much safer to us for a while, as I expect. > > (I haven't bumped the e2fsprogs so versions in over a decade, but > that's because I had carefully designed the interfaces to allow for > backwards compatibility as we added new features to the file system. > I didn't know if that was part of your plan for f2fs-tools) Will keep to try on it. :) Thanks, > > Thanks!! > > - Ted ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Linux-f2fs-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-f2fs-devel
