[parted-devel] libparted API nomenclature & code-repetition

Quite right. I was wondering whether we can still provide the older,
ie. the ones we are using now, names even after doing the clean-up for
some time. The older names can be 'aliased or 'typedef'ed to the
newer, cleaner names for some releases, say till 2.5 comes out. That
way we can give our users sufficient time to migrate their
applications.

Sure. Thanks for the links. I am new to darcs, so it would be very helpful. :-)

Happy hacking,
