Automatically Partition Hard Drives (unsafe)
This module will automatically partition the harddrive on which you wish
to install Debian GNU/Linux. It will keep any existing partition and use
the free space available. If there is no space it will try to resize
FAT partition (but it'll leave around 25% free space in each FAT
partition).
.
At the present time is uses only libparted and is therefore limited to
architecture supported by libparted (i386 only?).
.
autopartkit is a minimal package used by debian-installer.
Changes: autopartkit (0.33) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Development version moved from Skolelinux into Debian CVS. Skipping
version numbers 0.2 - 0.32 used by Skolelinux versions.
* Moved partition requests into separate .table files, and choose table
based on debian-installer/profile content. Add depend on
profilechooser to make sure debconf contain the requested multiselect
value. If the value is empty or unknown, use default.table.
* Split partitioning operation in two, one calculating the new partition
layout, and another doing the change. This will make it possible to
preview the partitioning changes.
* Add depend on di-fake to make sure libparted.so is available at run
time.
* Change orders of provides entries to get around a bug in anna. This
should get base-installer to depend on autopartkit.
* Increase priority to standard to get anna to install this package by
default.
* Refuse to compile on platforms where the default partition table
format is unknown. At the moment this is all non-x86 platforms.
* Add code to handle both v1.4 and v1.6 of libparted. The code uses
v1.6 API, but there is a compatibility wrapper in parted-compat.h
* Source converted to use autoconf/automake.
* Change log location to /var/log/messages.
* Change menu entry and confirm question to make it more obvious that
this is an unsafe program.
* Make sure we ask the user if it is OK to destroy the partition tables
before destroying the partition tables.
* Add code to handle several different file system types.
* Add SCSI-support.
* Add some support for creating LVM partitions.
* Change menu item value from 3 to 50 to match new numbering schema.
The package both partitions and mounts, this its range is 40-60.
* Make this package compile with both libparted 1.4 and 1.6.
* Use libparted 1.6 by default.
* Use 'ext3' by default when using libparted 1.6.
