I think fork is possible way if you (or someone else) want to maintain dosfstools. Please, try to talk about the current situation with downstream dosfstools maintainers from Debian, Suse, Fedora/RHEL, Gentoo, ... It's always good to have support from distros before you fork anything. Nobody wants to use unmaintained stuff in distros so I guess you will see positive feedback. > > Karel, do you want to create official pull request for above util-linux > > changes, even without fixes in dosfstools project? I have no problem with the pull request, but if you want to try to fork dosfstools I can wait for any conclusion. Karel -- Karel Zak http://karelzak.blogspot.com
