+parted 2.2 transition
+
+<p>I've started the <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2010/03/msg00121.html">transition of parted 2.2 to unstable</a>. This is a major update needed for sensible support of newer hard disks with alignment requirements different from the archaic cylinder alignment tradition. I posted to debian-boot with a <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2010/03/msg00420.html">summary of the partman changes involved</a>.</p>
