introducing REPIT2, a major rewrite:

  • supports multiple devices with device-specific code isolated in hierarchically-structured device handler files.
  • added support for other S2 exynos-based devices: i777, n7000, d710 and sc02c.
  • added support for i9100g, the omap-based S2.
  • added support for janice, the GT-I9070 S Advance a.k.a. S2 Lite.
  • supports 'shuffled' partitions, where the physical storage order of partitions differs from the numeric order.
  • supports several 'heaps' per device, each being a set of partitions that REPIT can manage independently.
  • added support for pluggable file system/partition type handlers.
  • added FS-dependent support for crypto footers. (they are required to support encryption on some devices.)
  • added crypto footer support to the ext4 file system handler.
  • added the raw partition type: raw partitions are opaque to REPIT and can neither be resized nor wiped; only moving them is supported. (they allow the creation of larger heaps where the contents of some of its partitions cannot be understood by REPIT.)
  • supports non-configurable partitions in heaps (for 'dangerous' partitions that should always be treated as raw).
  • added auto-detection of usable block device area.
  • disables swap during operation (if the swapoff command is available).
  • detects adb sideloading and fails with a proper explanation if it is used. (sideloading hides the package filename and thus the filename-based configuration is lost.)
  • unmounts the external sdcard to avoid locking issues.
  • per heap configurable partition alignment, size granularity, and min keyword size.
  • configurable partition data move chunk size to support low memory devices.
  • configurable block device sector size.
  • added the device-dump tool to create reports of unsupported devices and facilitate porting.
