Description Nikos Chantziaras 2008-12-29 14:16:44 UTC 
Latest version of dosfstools in portage is 3.0.0. Latest upstream is 3.0.1.

It's a bugfix release.  Bugs fixed:

* Fixed volume ID generation.
  (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448247)

* Patch to check for bad number of clusters in dosfsck.

* Macro MSDOS_FAT12 is now replaced by FAT12_THRESHOLD to make it consistent with the definition in mkdosfs and to remove the dependency on the kernel version.

The current 3.0.0 ebuild in portage works just fine when renaming to 3.0.1.
