Hi Stephen, Your patch is large enough that we have to require a signed copyright assignment. Here's the relevant section from HACKING: http://git.debian.org/?p=parted/parted.git;a=blob;f=HACKING#l428 Sorry for the hassle (it'll mean you sending an email, waiting for snail/paper mail, and signing and sending that back to the FSF), but it's for a good cause.
