Distro maintainers: consider switching from util-linux to util-linux-ng

[Leon Woestenberg]

Hello all,

consider switching to util-linux-ng, util-linux-ng is the maintained fork of
util-linux, whereas the latter is now dead AFAIK.

http://userweb.kernel.org/~kzak/util-linux-ng/

I have committed it a while ago, and tested it to work ok for me. Needs more
testers, so I propose to switch over.

The Changelist:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=blob;f=docs/v2.14-ReleaseNotes;h=c8ca19de79947d21dfbb16b1db4393881a93e47f;hb=915b80830b61264d4b3d3e52797054078595a003

whichs shows me that 2.14 has arrived. Volunteers?

Regards,

Leon

Looks nice, maintained software is almost always nicer than unmaintained

If people add 2.14, please check all the u-a's, since 2.14 includes
ionice, which used to be in the schedutils package (or still is), and
busybox might have grown a few more applets.

regards,

Koen
