Description Stefan Reimer 2013-09-29 21:25:02 UTC

Hiho,
In order to compile additional software, eg. partclone, against libxfs one needs additional header files. These get installed by executing "make install-qa".

See:
http://www.startux.de/gitweb/quarks.git/blob/e4fb57925da1548be49ad0efc59b4bcde39a4cc5:/sys-fs/xfsprogs/xfsprogs-3.1.10-r1.ebuild#l92

So either add them by default ( I compared both versions, they only differ by the additional header files), 
or allow to select them by using an additional USE flag.
I used libxfs-dev for now and made partclone.ebuild require it.

Reason I need libxfs support is to get partclone support for xfs:

Cheers,
Stefan
