Branch: pkgsrc-2015Q2, Version: 7.0, Package name: testdisk-7.0, Maintainer: pancake

Disk is powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed
to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable
again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of
viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table).
Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.

TestDisk can
* Fix partition table, recover deleted partition
* Recover FAT32 boot sector from its backup
* Rebuild FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 boot sector
* Fix FAT tables
* Rebuild NTFS boot sector
* Recover NTFS boot sector from its backup
* Fix MFT using MFT mirror
* Locate ext2/ext3/ext4 Backup SuperBlock
* Undelete files from FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext2 filesystem
* Copy files from deleted FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext2/ext3/ext4 partitions.

   Log message:
   Update sysutils/testdisk to testdisk-7.0.

   Changes:
   == 7.0 ==
   === General Improvements ===
   Various fix including security fix, thanks to
   * Coverity scan (Static Analysis of source code)
   * afl-fuzz (security-oriented fuzzer).
   * Denis Andzakovic from Security Assessment for reporting an
     exploitable Stack Buffer Overflow

   === TestDisk ===
   ==== Improvements ====
   * exFAT: better support
   * ext4: handle 64 bit blocks or 64 KiB blocksize. Fix detection and file
     listing

   ==== Bug fixes ====
   * Avoid erroneous error when writing 512 bytes on hard disk using 4k sector
   * FAT, NTFS: avoid NULL pointer dereference if localtime() returns NULL.
     Thanks to Graham Sutherland for reporting this bug.

   === PhotoRec & QPhotoRec ===
   QPhotoRec is a Graphical User Interface (Qt based GUI) version of PhotoRec.
   More user friendly, it recognizes the same file formats.

   PhotoRec remains recommended for advanced users, it can stop a recovery and
   resume it later, it recovers more fragmented files when brute-force technology
   is enabled and expert mode is available.

   ==== Improvements ====
   * Reduced false positives for more than 80 file formats.
   * .gif: fix filesize detection
   * .flv: add Flash filesize detection
   * .mpg: detect filesize for MPEG
   * .ra: detect filesize for RealAudio3
   * Improved algorithm to deal with data fragmentation resulting in a general
     speed increased
   * Speedup brute-force mode. Brute-force mode can recover more fragmented
     files, but it's still slow and not 100% reliable. You can enable it in
     PhotoRec Options menu.

   New file formats recovered by PhotoRec:
   * .3dm: Rhino / openNURBS
   * .ari: ARRI Raw Video
   * .camrec: Camtasia Studio
   * .dad: Micae DVR
   * .dcm: Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM)
   * .fp12: File Maker Pro 12
   * .kra: Krita
   * .mlv: Magic Lantern Video
   * .notebook: SMART notebook
   * .ora: Mypaint
   * .red: RED2 video format
   * .rlv: Revelation password
   * .vbm: Veeam Backup Metadata
   * .woff: Web Open Font Format
