Hi, find attached ebuild for partclone tool. http://partclone.org Partclone is a program similar to the well-known backup utility "Partition Image" a.k.a partimage. Partclone provides utilities to save and restore used blocks on a partition and is designed for higher compatibility of the file system by using existing libraries, e.g. e2fslibs is used to read and write the ext2 partition. Also in my overlay: http://www.startux.de/gitweb/quarks.git/tree/HEAD:/sys-block/partclone Open to suggestion ;) Cheers Stefan R
Created attachment 359760 [details] Proposed Ebuild partclone
Changed dependencies thx to fix to xfsprogs. Also updated ebuild to latest upstream release. http://www.startux.de/gitweb/quarks.git/tree/HEAD:/sys-block/partclone Thx SpanKY ;)
Created attachment 395186 [details] proposed updated ebuild I cleaned up the ebuild at the url in comment #2, and updated for the latest upstream release. I'm not really an ebuild expert, though, so please let me know if I missed anything
Comment on attachment 395186 [details] proposed updated ebuild oops, the configure script of partclone is doing weird things when it gets --disable-foo (it treats either --enable-foo or --disable-foo as enabling foo). Will upload another patch when i figure it out
Created attachment 395188 [details] proposed updated ebuild, take 2 OK, this one builds, at least for the USE flags I care about (exfat ntfs reiserfs)
Created attachment 395190 [details, diff] patch for breakage when use_enable passes --disable-foo options to configure
Created attachment 395192 [details, diff] patch for API change in progsreiserfs, url in comment I found this patch via google at http://linamh.disconnected-by-peer.at/linamh/browser/sys-block/partclone/files/partclone-0.2.36-progsreiserfs-0.3.1-1.patch?rev=ea577defdd55fc399aefa7caba0dbccf8e66258d
Created attachment 395194 [details, diff] another API breakage in progsreiserfs, this one I did myself
Would be nice to see this in portage, maybe try a github pull request.

Yes - I think addition to Portage would be good since Partclone gained more users through Clonezilla which is using it as the standard.
Created attachment 699531 [details] sys-block/partclone-0.3.17.ebuild I stumbled upon this ancient bug after I spent some time trying to revive a very old ebuild ... There are a few patches that I need to review and do some more testing, but here is the initial cut, also available in my pkalin overlay[1]. Once I add a few more of the filesystems and everything is fine, I'll apply to maintain it as a proxy.

Thx for reviving this! I will remove my outdated ebuild as well. Any chance you can also add the --enable-static USE flag again. I have been using partclone to install VM images on baremetal via a tftp bootinf into a super tiny tool OS.

Given the number of dependencies of partrclone, it will be a challenge, but I will put it back at some point, after I check what else are we missing.
