GParted stands for Gnome Partition Editor.
GParted project uses libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partitiontables while several (optional) filesystemtools provide support for filesystems not included in libparted.
These optional packages will be detected at runtime and don't require a rebuild of GParted.
GParted is written in C++ and uses gtkmm as Graphical Toolkit. The general approach is to keep the GUI as simple as possible. That's why i try to conform to the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.
GParted comes under the terms of the General Public License.
Requirements:
ˇ
gtkmm-2.4 >= libparted-1.6.13 (use of newest libparted is encouraged)
