2012-10-23Drop superfluous PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT, "user-destdir" is default these days.asau1-3/+1
2012-05-22Update to 1.15 (not really tested), on the theory that there's nogdt3-7/+10
reason to run old upstream code. Changes in version 1.15: The new option "-a, --min-read-rate" has been added. The new option "-I, --verify-input-size" has been added. The new option "-x, --extend-outfile" has been added. Ddrescue now verifies that infile, outfile and logfile are all different. Non-tried blocks are now read aligned to cluster-size sectors. The "split or skip" algorithm of the split pass has been improved. A spurious warning about "-D" being ignored in fill mode has been removed. Ddrescuelog, a tool for manipulation, display, conversion, comparison and testing of ddrescue logfiles, has been added.
2010-02-25Update to 1.11, provided by Mustafa Dogan in private mail.wiz2-13/+6
Changes in version 1.11: In case of error writing the logfile to disc, the user is now given the possibility of fixing the problem and continue. The splitting algorithm has been modified to read secuentially the areas smaller than a threshold size. After every read error, ddrescue now verifies the input file has not disappeared. In rescue mode, ddrescue now shows the time elapsed from the last successful read. Signals SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 are now ignored by ddrescue. Descriptions of "--direct", "--synchronous" and "--sparse" in the manual have been made clearer. Description of rescue algorithm in the manual has been made clearer. "make check" now verifies that files are open in binary mode. A warning about logfile usage has been added to "ddrescue --help" output. 1.10: Changes: The option "--try-again" has been added. The size skipped when bad sectors are found has been made independent of "cluster-size". Rescue speed has been improved for large log files. An overflow reading from devices of undefined size has been fixed. "make install-info" should now work on Debian and Mac OS X. 1.9 Changes: The new option "--domain-logfile" has been added. Verbosity control of user messages has been simplified. This release improves portability by using the LLONG_MAX macro instead of LONG_LONG_MAX. This release is also available in lzip format.

2008-07-28Import ddrescue-1.8.obache4-0/+49
Based on PR 39202 by Edgar Fuss, some fixes and improvement by me. GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue data in case of read errors.
