PING! Any plans for movement on updating this package?
Is this package mainly imported from upstream (Debian) ?
How can I verify which version of the "diskdev_cmds" project is used on
modern macOS?
Current macOS version 10.15.4 has binary "fsck_hfs" from
"hfs-522.100.5".
As evidenced by:
strings $(which fsck_hfs ) | grep PROJECT:
@(#)PROGRAM:fsck_hfs PROJECT:hfs-522.100.5
However, I'm only seeing up to version 522.0.9 here:
https://opensource.apple.com/source/hfs/
It sounds like this particular set of tools, fsck.hfs[plus] &
mkfs.hfs[plus], were sourced originally from diskdev_cmds project (
https://opensource.apple.com/source/diskdev_cmds/ ).
I'm a bit confused as to whether current Apple macOS even uses the
"diskdev_cmds" project at all. Searching their binaries for
"PROJECT:diskdev_cmds" yields no results:
OLDIFS="$IFS"; IFS=':'; for p in $PATH; do sudo find "$p" -type f -print0
| sudo xargs -0 strings | grep PROJECT: ; done | sort | uniq | grep -i
diskdev ; IFS="$OLDIFS"
# No results!
# Tip: taking off the last '| grep -i diskdev' command from the pipe shows
*all* current project versions of macOS command line utilities ;-)
