I'm not going to be applying these patches for quite some time. I'd much rather have packaging scripts that *know* they will be packaging alongside util-linux-ng use --disable-libblkid, etc. so we don't break things for folks who might need to build e2fsprogs for distributions that are still using util-linux --- which at the moment still have the vast majority of the installed base, and every so often people do actually care about running updated filesystem utilities on an older enterprise distribution. The at the minimum I'll want to make sure that the debian/rules file packaged with e2fsprogs can build both for util-linux and util-linux-ng for similar reasons, especially since Lamont hasn't gotten back to us about potentially getting util-linux-ng packaged for Debian yet. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux-ng" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
