just an frontend (gui) for parted

------- Comment #4 From Quequero 2003-04-08 18:32:57 0000 -------
Well it's not a frontend, it uses parted indirectly (only libparted) and it's
able to resize ntfs partitions ;p

version stuff so it would build with the newest version. please improve it
further if you can.

Hi all,
QtParted-0.3.1 don't use autoconf/automake. I am porting QtParted to autoconf/automake. The author is working on the next major version. But he agrees my work, and we will merge our work, in order to have the next version based on autoconf/automake. Then, --prefix will be working. 
You can have the current port of qtparted-0.3.1, here:
http://fdupoux.free.fr/qtparted/

Very important remark:
- If dev-libs/progsreiserfs is installed before parted is compiled, qtparted will handle reiserfs
- If dev-libs/progsreiserfs is not installed, or if it's installed after parted was compiled, then qtparted will not handle reiserfs.

Many users don't know that, and complains:
"Why qtparted does not support reiserfs ?"

I would like to force users to install dev-libs/progsreiserfs and parted. It would be a better choice in most cases.

In my autoconf/automake version of qtparted, there is a new option in configure:
The qt option "--enable-embedded" allow to use Qt-embedded instead of Qt-x11. IMHO, this is very important, because users will be able to use QtParted without XFree86, and then we can put QtParted on the GentooLiveCD... Everybody can have a nice graphical PartitionMagic clone by booting on the GentooLiveCD.
- is it possible to have two ebuild (qtparted-x11.ebuild and qtparted-embedded.ebuild) ?
- is it possible for some gentoo developers to make QtParted available on the LiveCD ?

You can write an ebuild for the qtparted-0.3.2-pre2. This version is based on
autoconf/automake. Then, this ebuild will work for the final 0.3.2 version too.

This is an ebuild for the new generation QtParted build system, which will be
used in qtpared-0.3.2 and later (based on autoconf/automake).

This going to make it into the portage tree soon? An emerge -s qtpart turns up
zip as of this evening. Just curious.

ps. Hi my name is Robert and I'm a portage addict. I can't seem to grasp that
software outside of portage exists... :)

It's been a long time coming, but QtParted is now available in portage: 
 
sys-apps/qtparted 
 
 

------- Comment #20 From François Dupoux 2003-07-22 13:49:03 0000 -------
Hi,
Thanks for sumbitting the ebuild in the official portage tree. But I have a question:
I wrote an unofficial ebuid that allow to use QtParted from QtEmbedded. There is no "use embedded" option. How is-it possible to have the two qtparted ebuilds (x11 and embedded) merged ?

------- Comment #21 From Paul de Vrieze 2003-07-23 02:58:27 0000 -------
Well you can privately allways use private useflags. That is no problem. If you
want to submit an ebuild with a new use flag, tell that in the bug report and
give reasons for why you think no other (existing) use flag is appropriate.

In this case you might consider using the absense of the X use flag to warant
making qtparted with qtembedded.
