I'm interested, and even looked over the patch a week or two ago. It looks good, by the way. Yes, I should have replied, sooner. You can help expedite matters by adding a small test case to exercise the new code. Preferably, a test that fails on the current code but works with your patch and demonstrates what it changes. No big deal if you don't have time to write the test script. Just providing a sequence of parted/dd/etc commands to operate on a file-based file system would be great. You can find examples in tests/t*.in. Also, your patch is large enough that we'll need a copyright assignment from you. Are you in a position to assign copyright to the FSF (i.e., no employer with rights to all your work). Then, depending on whether this is a one-shot contribution or if you may continue to contribute (let me know), I'll send the appropriate form. _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
