Spec URL: https://copr-dist-git.fedorainfracloud.org/cgit/survient/fpart/fpart.git/tree/fpart.spec
SRPM URL: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/survient/fpart/fedora-28-x86_64/00825249-fpart/fpart-1.1.0-1.fc28.src.rpm
Description: "Fpart is a tool that helps you sort file trees and pack them into bags (called "partitions"). It is developed in C and available under the BSD license.

It splits a list of directories and file trees into a certain number of partitions, trying to produce partitions with the same size and number of files. It can also produce partitions with a given number of files or of a limited size. Fpart uses a bin packing algorithm to optimize space utilization amongst partitions.

Once generated, partitions are either printed as file lists to stdout (default) or to files. Those lists can then be used by third party programs.

Fpart also includes a live mode, which allows it to crawl very large filesystems and produce partitions in live. Hooks are available to act on those partitions (e.g. immediately start a transfer using rsync(1) or cpio(1)) without having to wait for the filesystem traversal job to be finished. Used that way, fpart can be seen as a powerful basis for a data migration tool.

Fpart can also generate lists of directories instead of files. That mode can be useful to enable usage of options requiring overall knowledge of directories such as rsync's --delete.

As a demonstration of fpart possibilities, a tool called fpsync is provided in the tools/ directory."

Comment 3 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-11-20 02:00:12 UTC
Package approved.


You still need to find a sponsor.

Comment 4 Sam P 2018-11-20 02:04:16 UTC
Understood Robert-André. I'll check among my colleagues for guidance. That said if a sponsor sees this and is willing to assist it would be greatly appreciated.

Comment 5 Ganael Laplanche 2019-04-18 16:34:07 UTC
Hello there,

I would be glad to see a volunteer to sponsor fpart package :)

Anyone ?

Comment 6 Carl George 2019-04-29 16:32:54 UTC
I have sponsored Sam into the packagers group, and will co-maintain the fpart package with him.

Comment 7 Carl George 2019-04-29 16:46:55 UTC
fedpkg is complaining about the review flag being too old.  I have also review the spec file, it's still the latest upstream version.
