Package: dphys-swapfile
Version: 20100506-5
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
please update the part of detecting fallocate as the exit code of the type
command causes the script to stop if fallocate is not found.
Please also avoid using fallocate in case of f2fs by checking the filesystem
type.
Both corrections are implemented already, see the patch.
