This is a new program for playing the Windows journal and restoring integrity on a device which has not been unmounted from Windows (power failure, USB unplugged while writing, etc.) It is still experimental, and will remain that way if only the development team tests it. Tests by real users are welcome, and this implies it be packaged by distributions. > What about the "quarantined" programs: > > ntfsck > ntfsdump_logfile > ntfsfallocate > ntfsmftallocate > ntfsmove These are programs which are considered non-functional or only test-oriented. Distributions are not expected to package them. They are kept in the source tarball so that volunteers can capitalize on them for improvement. In particular ntfsck is just a place holder. Distributions are expected not to recommend inserting a positive value in the last field of /etc/fstab for ntfs partitions. The new ntfsrecover renders ntfsdump_logfile obsolete. > If all the above are experimental, should I go ahead and create a > "ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-experimental" sub-package? Making a sub package would be reasonable, but they are not really experimental, they have been orphaned for ten years and are unlikely to be upgraded (except ntfsfallocate if there is some demand).
