This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the EXT2 file
|
|
system utilities (e2fsck, mke2fs, etc.). The EXT2 utilities were
|
|
written by Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> and Remy Card <card@masi.ibp.fr>.
|
|
|
|
This package was put together by Yann Dirson <dirson@debian.org>,
|
|
from sources obtained from a mirror of:
|
|
tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/packages/ext2fs/
|
|
|
|
Copyright notice:
|
|
|
|
This package, the EXT2 filesystem utilities, are protected by the GNU
|
|
Public License, with the following exception ---
|
|
|
|
If the version string in the file version.h contains the
|
|
string "pre-", then this package must be distributed in source
|
|
form only. You can give a copy of the binary for e2fsck to
|
|
help a friend recover his or her filesystem, as the need
|
|
arises. However, "pre" indicates that this release is under
|
|
development, and available for ALPHA testing. So for your
|
|
protection as much as mine, I'd rather not have it appear in a
|
|
some distribution --- especially not a CD-ROM distribution!
|
|
|
|
The most recent officially distributed version can be found on
|
|
tsx-11.mit.edu, in /pub/linux/packages/ext2fs. If you need to make a
|
|
distribution, that's the one you should use. If there is some reason
|
|
why you'd like a more recent version that is still in ALPHA testing
|
|
for your distribution, please contact me (tytso@mit.edu), and we can
|
|
see if we can't come to an arrangement. The release schedules for
|
|
this package are flexible, if you give me enough lead time.
