Request: GPT fdisk
Summary: A fdisk like program for managing GUID Partition Table or GPT commonly used in EFI/UEFI systems like Intel Macs, HP Elitebooks etc. Useful for resetting "msftres" flag due to GNU Parted.
URL: http://rodsbooks.com/gdisk/
Why not in Fedora: Very new software, only 2 releases till now. Fedora may not accept such a relatively new package till it gains popularity.
Notes: Although the author claims GPT fdisk to be of alpha quality, I haven't found any errors while using it, even using different options. It has features like setting any arbitary Partition type GUID for a partition. Also for 64-bit (x86_64) Fedora (or any Linux), it is better to have a 64-bit binary rather than a 32-bit binary according to the author of GPT fdisk . My idea is that a src-rpm of gdisk is better than a compiled rpm.
