thanks for this info Martin, 4.1 was released in 2017, so 4.2 is not a bugfix only release by any means. It should be out of policy for LTS backport. since we have different tools and techniques to partition storage media this tool plays a vital role and we should be very careful making changes to it, especially in releases. > > On Tue, Mar 2, 2021 at 2:43 PM Alexander Kanavin <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> On Tue, 2 Mar 2021 at 14:26, Colin Finck <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> On Mon, Mar 1, 2021 at 05:58 PM, Alexander Kanavin wrote: >>> > Can you send a followup patch please, on top of master-next? >>> >>> Here we go: >>> https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/patch_dosfstools_build/81024606 >>> >>> Who decides about backporting or not backporting dosfstools 4.2 to Dunfell? >>> I can only stress again that a large number of devices in the wild are >>> currently running on FAT boot partitions, and come with a dosfschk version >>> that likes to destroy these boot partitions. >> >> >> That would be Steve.
