#40424: dd_rescue @1.14: Update to 1.40
---------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: egall@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: update | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
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)
