gentoo has a couple of other patches. They might be needed/useful.

Yes, it appears that gentoo has several quality patches, and since it appears these aren't getting rolled in upstream and they prevent gpart from compiling and working at all in some circumstances, I will include them:

http://mirror.linux.org.mt/mirror/gentoo-portage/sys-block/gpart/files/

Based on the ebuild file, it seems these can all be safely applied for all architectures.

I'll look into simply applying any that seem to affect compilation and/or correct behavior on the i686 and x86_64 architectures. I have also written to the maintainer to see if he will release a new upstream version with some/all of these patches.

What's the status of this issue?

Didn't realize the package was mine. I will try to get around to patching it.

This package is part of the license rebuild. Do you want me to go ahead and apply the Gentoo patches?
Comment by Paul Mattal (paul) - Tuesday, 07 April 2009, 12:27 GMT
Sure, go for it!
