util-linux for sarge
Please consider util-linux 2.12p-4 for Sarge. Relevant changelog chunk
below.
Cons:
- it's a change
Pros:
- Fixes for a number of bugs. 2.12j through 2.12p were the result of
a bunch of activity between upstream and myself.
- 2.12p-1 has been in sid since December, and -2 through -4 change
next to nothing (yes, "next to nothing" includes that security vul
compliments of libblkid1 fixed in -4.)
- 2.12-10 (currently in sarge) represents only minor tweaks since the
previous significant work back in Feb 2004.
- 2.12p-4 uses dpatch instead of a large monolithic .diff.gz, making
it much easier to maintain down the road.
