## Historique du projet et usages

fpart is a filesystem partitioner: it crawls file trees, sorts files, and packs them into partitions. Its companion tool fpsync uses those partitions to parallelize file-migration work.

### Historique du projet

The official documentation says fpart was written by Ganael Laplanche, with Jean-Baptiste Denis credited for the original idea. The changelog records an initial 0.1 release on 2011-11-18, a 1.0.0 release on 2017-11-10, and a 1.7.0 release on 2025-01-25.

fpart is primarily developed on FreeBSD, carries embedded fts(3) code derived from FreeBSD for portability, and is tested across FreeBSD, GNU/Linux, Solaris, OpenIndiana, NetBSD, and macOS.

### Historique d'adoption

The official site lists packages for FreeBSD, Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS/Fedora, NixOS, Homebrew, and Spack. That package availability matches fpart's niche: administrators want it ready from the system package manager when handling large file trees or migration jobs.

The project is hosted through Martymac.org, GitHub, and SourceForge, reflecting the long-running open-source utility pattern of keeping multiple source distribution surfaces alive.

### Modes d'utilisation

fpart generates partitions by file count, size, or number of partitions, can operate in live mode with hooks, and can consume arbitrary input such as du output.

fpsync builds on fpart to parallelize rsync, cpio, pax, or tar jobs, use SSH clusters for distributed migrations, start transfers while crawling continues, and resume or replay transfer runs.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

fpart is package-nerd significant because it fills a pragmatic gap between find, du, rsync, tar, and shell scripting. It packages a specific sysadmin pattern: divide a huge tree into stable bags, then process those bags in parallel.

Its appeal is also dependency-minimal: the official docs describe fpsync as mostly shell plus common tools, making it a natural fit for ports trees and conservative system package collections.

### Chronologie

- 2011: 0.1 initial version released.
- 2014: Official GitHub repository was created.
- 2017: 1.0.0 released.
- 2024: 1.6.0 released.
- 2025: 1.7.0 released.
