Description Andrius Štikonas 2017-09-30 21:23:04 UTC

Would it be possible to package fatresize on gentoo. There is an ebuild in gentoo-playground already.

fatresize is just a small wrapper around libparted, so once it is packaged, it's likely it will not need any updates...

Reproducible: Always

Andreas, I now spent a bit more time looking at issue of fat resizing, it is possible to do it using dbus calls to udisk. So maybe we don't need to package fatresize then? Well, udisk is still a wrapper around libparted but should be better maintained.
