 Hi,

 I've just build parted-1.9.0-16.fc12, which includes 3 small but important
 bug fixes:

 1) Correctly handle GPT labels on big endian machines
 2) ped_partition_is_busy() should not throw exceptions (#527035)
   This one is really nasty, it does not cause problems when we call
 ped_partition_is_busy()
   but the problems caused by this (the setting of an exception flag)
 happens much later when
   we actually check this flag for the first time. Leading to very weird
 and hard to debug
   backtraces (see comment 10 in the bug). I would *really* like to see
 this included in the
   beta, so that we don't get such funky backtrace reports from all the
 beta testers.
 3) msdos_partition_is_flag_available() should return 1 for swap flag
 (#513729)
   The fix for this is needed to fix various ppc install issues, or so I've
 been told.

 Regards,

 Hans
