I already filed a bug report for an ITA yesterday, see [1].

I don't know if you received my last message, but, if not, feel free to
adopt this package.


Thanks,

Are you still interested working on hfsprogs or do you want me to take the
package over? Updating to a newer version of hfsprogs is surely needed now
and if you are no longer interested in maintaining the package, it would
be best to orphan it and me or someone else pick it up for maintenance.

Thanks for the pointers. I will try to work on these ASAP (including
some at least another package of mine), since the new version that
they may have package is sure to have many, many fixes and new
features, compared to what we currently have in Debian.

Will do (and migrate everything to salsa and modernize the package,
eliminate patches etc.).

Hi Rogério!

Both Fedora and Arch are shipping a patched version 540.1 [1, 2],
so updating to newer versions seems possible with some elbow
grease.

Could you maybe import the sources from Fedora and thus update the
Debian package to version 540.1?

Thanks,
Adrian

Good to know.
The only "Drawback" I find is that hfs (normal just plain hfs) support is
not pressent since in Mac OS X 10.6 it was moved to the kernel for
read-only support.
but that is solvable with hfsutils making it a recommendation (or just
forking and modernising it).

But just for hfs+ for me work ok.

Hi.

So many moons since I dont talk about this but I was bussy.
So lets return with all i find.

Fedora is packageing a package called *hfsplus-tools* [1] at version
540.1.linux3 at first look look like a fork of hfsprogs and if you look is
somekind a fork but not in the traditional sence.
I did some testing and efectively is just an adaptation of hfsprogs to a
newer version (540.1) at the moment of creation of it.

So we somekind solve our problem of an now 10yo version... somekind since
it still old compared with lastest 589 [2] but at least it have security
upgrades and I think is still compatible with latest hfs+ disk

So now the question is you will use this package (either keeping the name,
changin it to upstream name or using fedora name) or not? anyway it need
test sure and probably could land in Debian X.

Yes. The patches don't apply, the update of a new version needs very
heavy surgery, and this is akin to the maintenance of a full-blown
fork of the package.

I already asked for help with the package. Please, see:

I'd appreciate it if you (and other people) could help get the program updated.

Are there any security issues that are solved in later releases and
that apply to the current version in Debian? I'd love to be notified
of those.


Thanks,

Rogério Brito.

There is any issue preventing at least try updating the package?
Maybe providing more insingn in the problem could help us help you get the
apropiate update

or at least if you aren't going to update you could backport security
patchs and things.

Bug#765104: Update hfsprogs to 572.1.1

[Chris Cheney]

Package: hfsprogs
Severity: normal

Hello,

hfsprogs which is derived from diskdev_cmds is very out of date vs Apple
sources. It is currently version 332.25 which was from 10.4 (~ 5-6 years
old) when upstream is up to 10.9.5 and version 572.1.1. Version 10.10 will
likely be released in a week or so.

http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/os-x-1095/

Thanks,

Chris Cheney
