Re: Fwd: bug#22113: Initial Reiser4 patch for Parted

[Edward Shishkin <edward.shishkin@gmail.com>]

What can I say...

Of course, we can complain to RMS, but they will find a reason to not
include it...
I have uploaded your patch here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/reiser4/files/patches
This is for distributions who maintain their own forks of GNU parted.

Thanks!
Edward.
