Sounds like a good idea since gparted 3.8.0 produced various errors here.

In attachment - diff.gz for ubuntu jaunty.
So, if anyone from maintainers think, that it's useful, then he can take it, check it for possible errors and, if everything fine, build and upload it to ubuntu repo.

Hello!

Tell me please, if gparted package will be updated for Ubuntu 9.04? It is still have 0.3.9-3ubuntu1 version in Jaunty..

This version number is incorrect since there has not been a 0.4.2-1 upload to Debian, as far as I can see; it should be 0.4.2-0ubuntu1 instead.

Fixed version number and a small problem with help mail path (now to /usr/share/gnome/help)

Hi Anibal, Alan, Otavio,

We have an Ubuntu bug open at the moment
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/305280) asking
for gparted 0.4.2 in Ubuntu. This is more urgent than it is in Debian,
since we're aiming for full ext4 support in our next release, and our
feature freeze is only a week away. As such, I'm minded to sponsor this
despite the fact that Debian experimental only has 0.4.1 at the moment.

However, upstream only ships .tar.bz2 files, which means that we would
have to repack it to get an .orig.tar.gz. I'm cautious about doing this
independently since it could get in the way of later being able to sync
the package from Debian if we ended up with different files.

Unless you're already in the process of packaging this, in which case
I'll gladly yield to your .orig.tar.gz, perhaps we could agree on this
file, with SHA256sum
6b6a927b9f46c1d5b7841214f0298c45a7b91ada1cd6abe040cf0866748613ef?

Colin, I don't understand you message.

That's OK. It was sent to the Debian maintainers of gparted, and copied
to this bug for the record.

Surfaz, Colin's message was directed towards the Debian maintainers, so that we share a common orig.tar.gz. Don't worry about it.

Aye!

I downloaded
http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/tmp/gparted_0.4.2.orig.tar.gz
and its sha256sum matches the one above.

The SHA256 checksums of the .tar files from Colin and upstrem also
match:

Hi guys!

New upstream release today! xD

Version: 0.4.3 - Released on 2009-02-12 16:48:25 UTC
0.4.3 (2009-02-12)
This release of GParted includes bug fixes, and language translation updates.

Key changes include:
- Corrected name of lock taken by hal-lock
(The lock is needed to prevent automounting of file systems)
- Fixed crash on startup with some languages

Download: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gparted/gparted-0.4.3.tar.bz2

The hal-lock issue is bug 37768 (for closing in changelog).

Well, then 0.4.3 release fixes #137872, #45449, #137700, #114713, #311470
and #37768 bugs of Launchpad.

When do we expect to have the updated version of Gparted in jaunty so that it can get proper testing?

Ah yes. http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/tmp/gparted_0.4.3.orig.tar.gz
then; SHA256sum
f870e01c150594c7d3a425492c4f87d44c82d7a30a4c0c64530fc09f3ffe4de4.

(I created this using 'bzcat gparted-0.4.3.tar.bz2 | gzip -9n >
gparted_0.4.3.orig.tar.gz', which seems to be a reliable way to get the
same result every time; gzip -n avoids the timestamp being embedded in
the gzip header. This should probably be standard practice when
repacking an upstream tarball.)

I made a few minor tweaks, mainly preserving the Filesystem element in the desktop file's Categories field, adjusting changelog entries a bit, and upgrading to 0.4.3, but this is essentially as posted by Surfaz. Thanks!

This bug was fixed in the package gparted - 0.4.3-0ubuntu1
