[ANNOUNCE] ddpt, version 0.95 available

[Douglas Gilbert]

ddpt is yet another variant of the venerable Unix dd command
line utility. It offers more precise control over a storage
copy and can bypass upper layers to use SCSI commands like READ,
WRITE, WRITE AND VERIFY, WRITE ATOMIC or offloaded copy
mechanisms to move the data. ddpt supports both the Linux
kernel 2.6 and 3 series with ports to FreeBSD, Solaris, and
Windows.

This package may be built to depend on the shared library
produced by the sg3_utils, version 1.40 package (released
20141113). Alternatively this package can be built to
statically include the code it needs from sg3_utils.
