Reproducible: Always

Stabilizing a library that nothing in stable uses sounds rather useless... Can
sys-fs/ntfsprogs-2.0.0 go stable?

Tested =dev-libs/libconfig-1.2 and =sys-fs/ntfsprogs-2.0.0 on sparc.

Both compile fine, pass all tests and have no collisions but they don't work at
all :(

mkntfs is unable to create a filesystem. I can't mount the result using the
in-kernel driver or =sys-fs/ntfs3g-1.2129. stderr says:
Corrupt inode.
add_attr_std_info failed: Input/output error.
Corrupt inode.
add_attr_std_info failed: Input/output error.
BUG: Standard information attribute not present in file record.
Couldn't create root directory: Input/output error

to reproduce:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test-file bs=1M count=100
losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/test-file
mkfs.ntfs /dev/loop0

ntfsundelete, ntfscp, ntfsclone and ntfsresize are stuck in an infinite
loop(when used on a filesystem created with =sys-fs/ntfsprogs-1.13.1-r1),
according to gdb it's in libntfs/volume.c line 577 - 580. That means they are
also unusable.

testdisk will fail with this bump, see bug 194346.

testdisk is fixed, ppc please also stabilize app-admin/testdisk-6.8-r1.

x86 stable

I'm don't think that stabilization of ntfsprogs 2.0 is a good idea, when you
can read

>Can I install both ntfsprogs and ntfs-3g?
>
>Yes, though we warn against the usage of ntfsprogs-2.0.0 because of major >reliability issues (write failure, sparse file corruption, utility hang, etc). 
>Use an earlier version instead until they get fixed. 

http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#ntfsprogs

from someone, who probably has a more in-depth knowledge of this software...

can we please get a solid statement form base-system (i.e. maintainer) if this
is cool to mark stable or not?

i havent noticed problems myself (ive done some resizing) and we havent seen
any reports, and i cant find any mention on the ntfsprogs site

i'd just go ahead ... i plan on keeping the two versions in the tree for a
while just for comparing, and if things go south we can always mask

ppc64 stable

amd64 stable. removing ppc as they have it stable.
