zhen,

I added a filter-flags -fPIC to this package about a month ago in the 
~arch tree. The version that is being built for grp is four months old
already. We have users that report that ~arch dosfstools works for them
just fine with the the fPIC filtering.

So is there any reason a newer dosfstools such as dosfstools-2.9.ebuild 
or dosfstools-2.10.ebuild are still in ~arch keywords?
I assume see them bumped vs adding a filter-flags to the older version.

I talked to mholzer and he bumped dosfstools to 2.10 :)
Thanks solar
