Hello,
Just a short recap of the current situation:
There exist two fault tollerant dd solutions. One is named dd_rescue, the
other is named ddrescue. Both have their pros and cons. dd_rescue together
with dd_rhelp (a bash helper script) looks a bit more advanced then the
GNU ddrescue, but this is my personal opinion.
Problem was that there is currently a ddrescue package in the
fedora-extras tree, which does package dd_rescue. This is a bit confusing,
as there are people who'd like ddrescue as well.
My suggestion to solve this mess is to include three packages, ddrescue,
dd_rescue and dd_rhelp with correct epoch and conflict tags to fix the
naming mess.
Could someone please review these packages?
