tparted - TUI frontend for parted based on FV

The ShortString version should be the same as the Unicode version, with the exception of no localization support

I have been using Arch Linux since my early Linux days, so my motivation to maintain install package for another distro myself is quite low.

Yes you can build it from command line. This is how users from Arch Linux build it from source via the Arch User Repository: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tparted-git

The app makes external calls to parted, mainly for creating and deleting partitions. Other operations are done using different external tools.

As of Feb 10th the app is considered stable so I decided to make a topic here

tparted is a simple, user-friendly Linux utility for creating, reorganizing, and deleting GPT disk partitions, based on Free Vision. It is quite similar to its distant relative gparted, although feature-wise it is still lacking.

It uses parted for manipulating partitions and the corresponding filesystem tools to deal with specific filesystems.

This is also my first time using the Unicode version of FV, and discovered some of its bugs during the development of this app, see https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/merge_requests/581 and https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/issues/40607. There's also an issue with rendering East Asian characters (see attached image), although I am a noob in this matter and not sure if this is something we can fix on the FV side or simply a limitation when it comes to half-width chars overlapping full-width chars.

Thanks.
