parted 2.3-8ubuntu4 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

parted (2.3-8ubuntu4) precise; urgency=low

  * At least some Intel Macs get rather upset if we revert to a protective
    MBR, so try harder to avoid this and to do a better job of writing a
    hybrid MBR:
    - Write a type code of 0x83 for more filesystems, and 0xda for
      non-filesystem partitions.
    - Do not rely on filesystem probing to recognise EFI System Partitions.
    - Write a protective partition starting at LBA 1 if we find an EFI
      System Partition or BIOS Boot Partition in the first position, even if
      it does not really begin at LBA 1 (LP: #856826).
    - Ensure that protective partitions corresponding to an ESP or BBP
      always have starting cylinder 0, head 0, sector 1.
    - Don't revert to a protective MBR just because the first GPT partition
      wasn't recognised as anything in particular.
    - Add tests for hybrid MBR syncing.

libparted0: disk partition manipulator - dummy package

 This is a dummy package providing smooth upgrades to
 libparted0debian1. You can safely remove it if no other
 package depends on it.

libparted0-dev: disk partition manipulator - development files

 GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
 move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
 for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
 to new hard disks.
 .
 This package contains the static library and header files for
 libparted, which are really only of interest to parted developers.

libparted0-i18n: disk partition manipulator - i18n support

 GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
 move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
 for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
 to new hard disks.
 .
 This package contains localization data.

libparted0-udeb: disk partition manipulator - library udeb

 GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
 move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
 for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
 to new hard disks.
 .
 This is a cut-down library package for use in debian-installer.

libparted0debian1: disk partition manipulator - shared library

 GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
 move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
 for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
 to new hard disks.
 .
 This package contains the shared library.

libparted0debian1-dbg: disk partition manipulator - debugging symbols

 GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
 move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
 for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
 to new hard disks.
 .
 This package contains the debugging static library for libparted,
 which is really only of interest to parted developers who need to
 debug their programs.
 .
 The debugging libraries are installed as /usr/lib/libparted_g.a
 Link specifically with them if you want to debug.

parted: disk partition manipulator

 GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
 move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
 for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
 to new hard disks.
 .
 This package contains the binary and manual page. Further
 documentation is available in parted-doc.
 .
 Parted currently supports DOS, Mac, Sun, BSD, GPT, MIPS, and PC98
 partitioning formats, as well as a "loop" (raw disk) type which
 allows use on RAID/LVM. It can detect and remove ASFS/AFFS/APFS,
 Btrfs, ext2/3/4, FAT16/32, HFS, JFS, linux-swap, UFS, XFS, and ZFS
 file systems. Parted also has the ability to create and modify file
 systems of some of these types, but using it to perform file system
 operations is now deprecated.
 .
 The nature of this software means that any bugs could cause massive
 data loss. While there are no such bugs known at the moment, they
 could exist, so please back up all important files before running
 it, and do so at your own risk.

parted-doc: disk partition manipulator - documentation

 GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy, resize,
 move, and copy disk partitions. This is useful for creating space
 for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data
 to new hard disks.
 .
 This package contains user documentation for parted and API
 documentation for the library packages.
