Quick followup to our recent version 1.8.3 release, here is GNU parted
1.8.4.

This is a minor bug fix release to address build issues on a number of
platforms.  Fixes include:

* Use 'uname -m' to determine if we build on System Z or not.
* Include <parted/vtoc.h> in <parted/fdasd.h> for format1_label_t 
  definition.
* Remove unused variables in libparted/arch/linux.c (-Werror).
* Check return values on fgets() and asprint() in libparted/arch/linux.c
  (-Werror).
* Check for tgetent() in libtinfo in the configure script.
* Move some macro definitions in <parted/disk.h> to fix a compile 
  problem with gcc-4.1.2 as indicated here:
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2007-03/msg00008.html

You can download GNU parted 1.8.4 from ftp.gnu.org in the /gnu/parted
directory.  Archives are available as tar+gzip or tar+bz2 files.

   ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-1.8.4.tar.gz

in the same directory.
