Gparted has been updated to version 17.0. http://gparted.org/news.php?item=170
I think the only thing needed is to add --enable-online-resize. Otherwise, 0.16.2 ebuild can be copied directly (the ebuild is written very well). Will we be adding a USE flag for --enable-online-resize?
Yes, it would be great.
from https://git.gnome.org/browse/gparted/tree/README : If you wish to build this package with online resize support then the following is required: a) A version of libparted that includes the online resize patch. At time of writing (November 2013), this patch was only included in Debian and derived distros with parted package version 2.3-14 or higher. b) Linux kernel version 3.6 or higher. Enable with the --enable-online-resize flag: E.g., ./configure --enable-online-resize Does anybody know something about that patch for sys-block/parted? Is the patch going into the portage tree? Or will the next version of parted have that changes built in?
Maybe this one? http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/parted/2.3-16/0001-parted-resizepart-command.patch
We have parted-3.1 in the tree, then, the patch shouldn't be needed

I had to add the online-resize to the src_configure() . I was confused about no econf line in src_configure() . But enabling and disabling the use flag is working now. diff /usr/portage/sys-block/gparted/gparted-0.16.2.ebuild /usr/local/portage/sys-block/gparted/gparted-0.17.0.ebuild 16,17c16,17 < KEYWORDS="amd64 ~arm ~ppc x86" < IUSE="btrfs dmraid f2fs fat hfs jfs kde mdadm ntfs policykit reiserfs reiser4 xfs" --- > KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~arm ~ppc ~x86" > IUSE="btrfs dmraid f2fs fat hfs jfs kde mdadm ntfs online-resize policykit reiserfs reiser4 xfs" 68a69 > $(use_enable online-resize ) \ Do we have to add a check or a warning if not a version of libparted is installed that includes the online resize patch or parted >=3.1 and Linux kernel version 3.6 or higher? The .configure script will catch it anyway (I think).
Looking at openSuSE looks like they have same parted as us but they disable online-resizing due it not being new enough :O, also its NEWS file isn't clear enough regarding this support being included there already :|
On openSUSE Factory they have gparted-0.17 and libparted0-3.1 Here a view on the Changelog from http://pkgs.org/debian-sid/debian-main-amd64/gparted_0.17.0-5_amd64.deb.html Note!

I renamed my ebuild from comment #7 and gparted-0.18.0 emerges fine and runs.
But, has anyone really confirmed online-resize is working with our in tree libparted versions?
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #13) > But, has anyone really confirmed online-resize is working with our in tree > libparted versions? online resize On an ext4 it lets me only grow the partition/filesystem. And only using the space past the partition and not before. Change the start is not possible. There is a chart in the program where you can see live the supported fs-actions. Here a log. I will try the other FS later .

I think we can add gparted-0.18.0.ebuild to the tree. You can take my attached 0.17.0.ebuild with new online-resize flag or the diff from #c8 as template.
