Then, for the sake of not making other potential Reiser4 contributors
lose their time -- falsely believing in the technical meritocracy of
FOSS -- I suggest that you place the above statement at the GNU Parted
site.

Last I read (< http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/ >) *before
submitting my Reiser4 patch* I could not find a notice *explicitly*
stating that Reiser4 work is not to be evaluated on its technical
merits but rather on a personal  'morality', religious fanaticism,
and/or subjective 'altruism' and/or prejudice. I even checked for the
relevant 'Reiser' string at the development site (<
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/parted/ >) with NULL results.

Notwithstanding, selectively applying a personal subjective criteria
to Reiser4 and not, say JFS for instance, seems more of a
contradictory attitude --as code contributions from organizations with
exponentially darker backgrounds (<
http://listverse.com/2013/10/24/10-big-business-nazi-profiteers/ >)
than Reiser are included -- specifically in Parted -- without
compunction.


Best Professional Regards.

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.

LOL, no.

I just followed Debian maintainer's original advice on updating patch against git branch of GNU Parted.

Well, that's the reasoning behind GNU Parted gatekeeper
< https://www.brianlane.com/about-brian-c-lane/ >

for not merging reiser4 patch.

I just wonder if now that 'Big Blue' acquired Red Hat, the GNU Parted gatekeeper will act in a consistent
manner and quit his employer on 'ethical and moral' grounds in light of Watson's complicity tainting the company.

< https://youtu.be/tCBT8H47sZ0 >
(and/or "Democracy For The Few" by Michael Parenti).

i.e., "...I have absolutely
no desire to see [IBM]'s work or name do anything but disappear into
obscurity."
< http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2015-12/msg00008.html >

Well, maybe I quoted him too soon. Unlike Reiser, who is down and dirt-poor and thus all the West 'morally and ethically righteous' developers kick and pile 
scorn onto, 'Big Blue's wealth quells USA technology ecosystem and their employees' ethical and moral sophistry, as is evidenced by, say no issues with JFS,
for instance.

Or someone was perhaps convicted of second degree murder after a plea deal
for revealing the location of his wife's corpse. ReiserFS wasn't production
quality when it was mainstream, ie. its own filessystem check tools were
incapable of repairing a filesystem that was improperly closed under the
majority of scenarios. I'd strongly suggest whatever your need is for this
filesystem, re-evaluate your position.

Ah, no problems anyway..
I'll put the patch to Sourceforge.

umh...  why cherry pick? Below is reprint of complementary argument you are omitting:

I just wonder if now that 'Big Blue' acquired Red Hat, the GNU Parted gatekeeper will act in a consistent
manner and quit his employer on 'ethical and moral' grounds in light of Watson's complicity tainting the company.

(and/or "Democracy For The Few" by Michael Parenti).

i.e., "...I have absolutely
no desire to see [IBM]'s work or name do anything but disappear into
obscurity."

Well, maybe I quoted him too soon. Unlike Reiser, who is down and dirt-poor and thus all the West 'morally and ethically righteous' developers kick and pile 
scorn onto, 'Big Blue's wealth quells USA technology ecosystem and their employees' ethical and moral sophistry, as is evidenced by, say no issues with JFS,
for instance.

The topic is Reiser4 different technology and thus different beast than ReiserFS. Apropos, hang issues and corruption are prevalent in BtrFS and ext4,
i.e., for a couple of instances,

thus your advice should be directed at the 'ethically and morally righteous' maintainers of those filesystems.
With all its quirks and issues, Reiser4 is a different beast which has not corrupted any of my data during my several years of daily use in Google Cloud images
as well as in remote bare metal servers and/or my local development environment(s) where I develop my kernels and installers.

Accordingly, and with all due respect, I don't request sanctimonious crap from mudslingers.


Best Professional Regards.

Ouch, I've clearly hit a nerve. My mileage with Reiser wasn't all rosy and
sweet, lost critical data that was written after a power loss and before
the next backup cycle. My aversion to the filesystem is purely technical.
All other filesystems on that day recovered with their respective fsck;s.
WIshing you continued good luck with your exploits.

 BR,

Harry
