New package locations of xfsprogs vs. xfsdump

New package locations of xfsprogs vs. xfsdump

[Holger Hoffstätte]

Hi,

I just bumped my xfsprogs on Gentoo to 4.8.0 to use the new download location
at kernel.org and noticed that xfsdump is still at sgi.com, even though it has
an empty directory at https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/xfs/xfsdump/.

Is xfsdump supposed to be there as well or has that migration just not
happened yet? Just asking for packaging reasons.

thanks,
Holger

It's just that there hasn't been a release since the move.  New versions
should land on kernel.org.

I think Dave was looking into rebuilding and re-releasing old versions
onto kernel.org, but I'm not sure if that has progressed.

No, I haven't made progress on that. Let me see if I've got the
original release tarballs for recent xfsdump releases still around
on my build machine. If I have, then I'll be able to resign and
upload them, otherwise I'll have to spend the time to regenerate
them.

In the mean time, just pull the git tree and set the head to the
release tag, and it will give you the same result...

Cheers,

Dave.
