If the only criteria to have this package in the repos is "looks", you can install the oxygen-gtk package, which should make all GTK+ apps use the KDE Oxygen style... I tried to compile KDE Partition Manager now. I have the habit of using this program in KDE. But, unfortunately, still a beginner, so it turned out easier to install this one package: http://mib.pianetalinux.org/2010.2/32/basic/partitionmanager-1.0.3-69.1mdv2010.1.i686.rpm I think the maintainer Mageia currently difficult to maintain the packages that have an alternative. In this case - GParted. Therefore, some time, in such cases, we can use compatible packages from Mandriva. CC:

balcaen.john, marja11 KDE Partition Manager is a disk partitioning application for the KDE Platform. It was first released for KDE SC 4.1. It is released independently of the central KDE release cycle. It is used for creating, deleting, resizing, moving, checking and copying partitions, and the file systems on them. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, copying data residing on hard disks and mirroring one partition with another (disk imaging). Additionally, KDE Partition Manager can back up file systems to files and restore such backups. It uses libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partition tables while several (optional) file system tools provide support for file systems not included in libparted. These optional packages will be detected at runtime and do not require a rebuild of KDE Partition Manager.

Marja, is the ability to customize keyboard shortcuts and toolbar buttons, integration with DE... Partitionmanager can create and restore backups... And, easy, this is... my choice! :) @ John If assigning to you is wrong, pleas assign back Assignee:

balcaen.john Well i have already a lot of packages i maintain and since i really doubt using this software at all, i won't package it & orphan it as soon as i imported just resolve this package so it's better to find someone who wants to package & maintain it than me. Assignee:
