Description Nicholas Wourms 2002-08-23 11:45:35 UTC

For those of us who happen to be multiplatform, it would be extremely helpful to
have the hfs and hfs+ utils available for merging.  This way we could use our
removable media and external storage devices.  First off, these are NOT PPC only
packages.  You will note that, on the sites for the packages, there are x86 rpms
and such available.

To further prove my case, I added the x86 keyword and compiled hfsutils.  It
compiled smoothly.  However, it is violating the sandbox when attempting to
install the manpages.  You should probably use ebuild and einstall.  Anyhow,
this probably should be made available to all platforms.
