Why is xfsdump (to dump xfs) in core but dump (for ext2/3) in unsupported? It seems we should support dump for filesystems we support. I'll take dump into core if desired. Or we could move xfsdump and dump both into extra. - P

Because no one brought this point up earlier 8)

I agree we should stay consistent, but how important are these apps? I know I've never used or heard of anyone using them. I'd guess they're recovery type tools, but we have a lot of those in extra already. Would anyone have a problem with both of them being in extra?

I think having both in extra would be fine. If someone moves xfsdump, I'll bring dump up from unsupported to extra and maintain it. - P

Done, moved xfsdump to extra.

xfsdump needs a rebuild to remove its groups entry, since it is no longer in base. -Dan
