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>.
|
|
|
|
Sources were obtained from http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs

Copyright notice:

This package, the EXT2 filesystem utilities, are protected by the GNU
|
|
Public License.
|
|
|
|
However, I request that if the version string in the file version.h
|
|
contains the string "pre-", or "WIP" that this version of e2fsprogs be
|
|
distributed in source form only. Please feel free to give a copy of
|
|
the e2fsck binary to help a friend recover his or her filesystem, as
|
|
the need arises. However, "pre" or "WIP" indicates that this release
|
|
is under development, and available for ALPHA testing. So for your
|
|
protection as much as mine, I'd prefer that it not appear in a some
|
|
distribution --- especially not a CD-ROM distribution!
|
|
|
|
The most recent officially distributed version can be found at
|
|
http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net. 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 will very
|
|
likely be able to work out something that will work for all concerned.
|
|
The release schedules for this package are flexible, if you give me
|
|
enough lead time.
