Bug#589372: ext3grep NMU
I did some local tests and it ext3grep seemed to work. Everything that
was restored was restored correctly though it did not restore everything
I deleted from the test image (but then it can't nessacerally be
expected to, some stuff may dissapear from the journal before ext3grep
can see it).
I suspect that the reason we have been unable to find any regular users
is this is the sort of tool most people use exactly once. IMO having a
tool like this available even though only minimally tested is better
than not having it at all (from reading the docs it seems it doesn't do
any live modifications, only data extraction so the risk of a bug
corrupting the filesystem being recovered seems minimal). As such I have
uploaded a NMU to delayed/5
Please tell me if you disagree with this course of action.
A debdiff for the NMU is attatched (note: it's a bit noisy because the
package updated config.sub and config.guess).
