This is a set of few chain post-merge patches - mostly revolving around simple
adjustments, though a few are somewhat larger and/or introducing new features
(nothing particularly complex though).
Fetch details at the bottom. I didn't spam the list with mass of mostly
banal
patches, though of course I can send them any moment if necessary.
Summary of a few more important ones:
- com32/chain: partiter - simplifications and updates
Following brief off-list discussion - this simplifies overkill generalizations,
so the code should be easier to follow and modify.
- com32/chain: make 'fixchs' and 'hide' options respect
'save'
To make the behavior consistent with sector saving. ITOW, writing back is
allowed only and only if save is set - which must be explicitly requested by
the user.
- com32/chain: implement relax flag (PIF_RELAX)
This tones down sanity checks, which should allow operation in some corner
cases (such as moving disks between different machines reporting different
disk sizes, or paritally botched partition tables).
- com32/chain: implement handling of non-standard hybrid GPT+MBR layouts
This recognizes disks with both layouts at the same time, and introduces
'prefmbr' flag to force the use of MBR layout in case GPT is present.
- com32/chain: recognize exFAT
This makes chain exFAT aware by adding yet another "BPB" variation
with the
usual stuff (partition offset - now 64bit, drive).
- com32/chain: manglepe_fixchs() correction
Previously fixchs also included start/length 0/0 entries (holes), so this patch
makes it a bit more careful.
- com32/chain: update licenses
Also following brief off-list discussion - license cleanup, though I'm not
sure
if it's the proper selection.
- utils/isohybrid: use ULL suffix in 64bit constants
This is of course unreleated to chain. Trivial update to avoid "integer
constant is too large".
The following changes since commit 0a0e0e41cad93cd16c323cf16f40264a21eedd6c:
