I am very happy to announce the release of GNU fdisk 1.1.
GNU fdisk aims to replace various UNIX operating systems' legacy
partitioning tools with libparted-based ones that mimic the
interface of those tools.
Currently implemented alternatives are:
* util-linux `fdisk'
* util-linux `cfdisk'
Both versions have a compability mode and a GNU mode
that offers additional features.
Download
========
Gzipped and b2zipped tarballs are available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/fdisk/
and its mirror sites. SHA1 sums may be found there as well.
The web site of GNU fdisk is at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/
Contributing
============
You can help fdisk by
* testing and using the existing frontends
* developing more frontends (e.g. for Mac fdisk or util-linux sfdisk)
I am also looking for a co-maintainer that will eventually
take over maintainance entirely.
