Hi Curtis, Great. Yes, it's good to have an updated stable release after 5 months. Steven On 7/13/2025 11:50 PM, Curtis Gedak wrote: > Hi Steven, > > Thanks for doing the release promotion.

Hi Curtis, It's great to know that you have done the tests so quickly and all have gone well. I have promoted this image to the production stable. Please announce it. Thank you very much.

Hi Steven, Thank you for the updated GParted Live 1.7.0-8 images and for also implementing a mechanism to reduce the possibility of random order of block devices in GParted live. I have tested this image on my amd64 (64 bit) hardware and all my testing has gone well. If you are in agreement that the release is ready then please promote this image to production stable. I can make the release announcement afterwards. Best Regards, Curtis |

This is to notify you that the master branch of the public GParted application repository (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted) was rebased. This was done to resolve "Gitlab partially truncated a commit message when rebasing a merge request" [1]. [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/-/issues/2041 The master branch was only rebase after the latest GParted 1.7.0 release. If you have a copy of the GParted application repository and on your next `git pull` it complains about the rebasing then run `git pull --rebase` to accept the updated master branch. Thanks, Mike |

Hi Steven, Thanks for promoting the latest image. It is great to have another stable release. This new release has been announced and I have updated the requirements on the index page as well as added notes regarding CPU architectures available on the download page. If you have any suggestions for improvement then just let me know.

Hi Curtis, I have promoted GParted live 1.7.0-1 to stable release. Please make the release announcement. BTW, since now there is only x86-64 release of GParted live, please update the main download page, too. Thanks.

GParted is the GNOME Partition Editor for creating, reorganizing, and deleting disk partitions. The GParted 1.7.0 release includes some new features in addition to bug fixes, and language translation updates. Key changes include: - Recognise NBDs (Network Block Devices) - Add support for Bcachefs (experimental), single device file systems only - Prevent GParted probe starting LVM Volume Groups - Increase minimum required version of libparted to 3.2 Visit https://gparted.org for more details. |

Hi Steven, Thank you for adding the packages and creating a new live image. I am now able to create both minix and bcachefs file systems with GParted Live 1.7.0-beta1-2. I will continue testing this live image. Mike and Steven, ANOTHER ITEM OF NOTE In the future we will likely need to decommission the reiserfs [1] and reiser4 [2] file systems. This is because support is being removed in upstream GNU/Linux. There is no need for any changes right now. [1: reiserfs] https://www.phoronix.com/news/ReiserFS-Deleted-Linux-6.13 [2: reiser4progs] https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/reiser4progs https://tracker.debian.org/news/1562563/reiser4progs-removed-from-testing/ Because we try to ensure the GParted compiles and runs on several major currently supported GNU/Linux distros, I do not think we need to make any changes at this time because reiserfs and/or reiser4 are still available in some older major currently supported distros.

These two packages are included in GParted live 1.7.0-beta1-2: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-testing/1.7.0-beta1-2/ BTW, I also add the userspace program "bcache-tools" in the live system, though it's not directly related to bcachefs-tools. The size of this package is very small so it's nice to have it in the live system.

ANOTHER ITEM OF NOTE In the future we will likely need to decommission the reiserfs [1] and reiser4 [2] file systems. This is because support is being removed in upstream GNU/Linux. There is no need for any changes right now. [1: reiserfs] https://www.phoronix.com/news/ReiserFS-Deleted-Linux-6.13 [2: reiser4progs] https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/reiser4progs https://tracker.debian.org/news/1562563/reiser4progs-removed-from-testing/ Because we try to ensure the GParted compiles and runs on several majory currently supported GNU/Linux distros, I do not think we need to make any changes at this time as reiserfs and/or reiser4 are still available in some older major currently supported distros.

Hi Steven, Thank you for creating a new GParted Live image. Overall the new image is working well. Based on my testing I have two package addition requests and some other items of note. PACKAGE ADDITION REQUESTS ------------------------- Please add the following packages: - bcachefs-tools - util-linux-extra RATIONALE Support for bcachefs has been added to the GParted application and it needs the bcachefs-tools package [1] to work. [1: bcachefs-tools] https://packages.debian.org/experimental/arm64/bcachefs-tools/filelist The minix executables are missing (e.g., mkfs.minix, fsck.minix). Previously these were part of the utils-linux package. From searching on Debian SID it appears the minix executables have moved to the util-linux-extra package [2]. [2: util-linux-extra] https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/util-linux-extra/filelist ITEMS OF NOTE ------------- 1. No more i386 (32-bit) support for GParted Live images. As Steven pointed out in the release notes: "The i386 Linux kernel packages were dropped in our upstream, Debian, Sid repo, so i686/i686-pae GParted live will be no more in the future. From this release, only amd64 (x86-64) release will be available." 2. New minimum of 640 MB of RAM needed for GParted Live image. This new image appears to need 640 MB of RAM to use all the features of the GParted application including help. I will make note of this when we announce a stable release.

Thanks Mike for being flexible. Steven, Is a Jan 30th release of the GParted application okay for you to create live images, or would a later date work better for you?

Hi Mike and Steven, I agree that we should do a new GParted release. Normally we leave about 1 week for translator updates. It looks like we are in good shape there already. https://l10n.gnome.org/module/gparted/ With that in mind a new release could be started as early as Tuesday, Jan 21st. If we wish to have more time then Thursday, Jan 30th should be okay for me as well. Do you have a preference for either Jan 21st, or Jan 30th?
