1 | This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the static EXT2 |
| 2 | file system consistency checker (e2fsck.static). The EXT2 utilities | |
| 3 | were written by Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> and Remy Card | |
| 4 | <card@masi.ibp.fr>. | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | Sources were obtained from http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs | |

| 21 | However, I request that if the version string in the file version.h | |
| 22 | contains the string "pre-", or "WIP" that this version of e2fsprogs be | |
| 23 | distributed in source form only. Please feel free to give a copy of | |
| 24 | the e2fsck binary to help a friend recover his or her filesystem, as | |
| 25 | the need arises. However, "pre" or "WIP" indicates that this release | |
| 26 | is under development, and available for ALPHA testing. So for your | |
| 27 | protection as much as mine, I'd prefer that it not appear in a some | |
| 28 | distribution --- especially not a CD-ROM distribution! | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | The most recent officially distributed version can be found at | |
| 31 | http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net. If you need to make a distribution, | |
| 32 | that's the one you should use. If there is some reason why you'd like | |
| 33 | a more recent version that is still in ALPHA testing for your | |
| 34 | distribution, please contact me (tytso@mit.edu), and we will very | |
| 35 | likely be able to work out something that will work for all concerned. | |
| 36 | The release schedules for this package are flexible, if you give me | |
| 37 | enough lead time. | |
