#40424: dd_rescue @1.14: Update to 1.40
---------------------+--------------------------------

Component:  ports    |    Version:  2.2.0
 Keywords:           |       Port:  dd_rescue ddrescue
---------------------+--------------------------------
 See http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/ddrescue/ for a list of versions. I'd
 verify with livecheck, but that's broken:
 {{{
 Local-Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ root# port -v livecheck dd_rescue
 Error: cannot check if dd_rescue was updated (The requested URL returned
 error: 406)
 }}}
 Also note that this is the version with the underscore in its name,
 ''not'' GNU `ddrescue`. The port description might want to clarify the
 differences between the two. The webpage linked above has this to say
 about the differences between the two:
 {{{
 Meanwhile, the tool GNU ddrescue has been developed and supercedes some of
 dd_rescue's functionality for what it was originally designed for. It's
 still useful though for some special features, such as direct IO, sparse
 copies, safe deletion (with a fast userspace pseudo random number
 generator), splice copies, preallocation ...
 }}}
 (cc-ing Ionic because we were talking about this in IRC, and raimue,
 because he's the maintainer of the GNU ddrescue port, which this port
 might get confused with)
