Library for accessing discs and disc image files

Edit Package libdsk

LIBDSK has drivers for:

* Raw files (including /dev/fdn).
* Raw files, rearranged into logical filesystem order.
* .DSK files, as used in CPCEMU, JOYCE and other Sinclair/Amstrad emulators.
* MYZ80 hard drive image files.
* NanoWasp floppy image files.
* .CFI (Compressed Floppy Image) files, as created by FDCOPY.COM under DOS.
* The Linux floppy drive (supports CPC System and Data formats, which the standard "Raw file" driver does not).
* The Windows 3.x/95/98/ME/NT/2000 floppy drive.
* The DOS floppy drive (via the PC BIOS).
* CopyQM files (read-only)
* TeleDisk files (read-only)
* APRIDISK image files
* rcpmfs - a backend that makes a Unix/Windows directory appear to be a CP/M disc image.
* Another instance of LibDsk over a serial line.

- Update to version 1.5.12
  * When converting to TD0 format, attempt to guess drive type
    (3.5" / 5.25") from drive geometry.
  * When probing geometry on disc image files that do not record
    the data rate, prefer the rate specified in the boot sector.
  * Fix for integer underflow issues in the POSIX / raw driver.
  * The LDBS format has been updated to support round-trip
    compatibility with the further EDSK extensions.
  * DSK, EDSK, ApriDisk, CFI, IMD, JV3, CopyQM and TeleDisk
    drivers have all been rewritten to use LDBS for intermediate
    storage.
  * New utility: dskconv (convert a disc image file from one
    format to another)
  * New backend: QRST (for the Compaq Quick Release Sector
    Transfer format)
  * New backend: LDBS (for the LDBS format)
  * New backend: SAP (for the System D'Archivage Pukall format)
  * dskform(1) can create a blank FAT12 filesystem when
    formatting.
  * New backends: gotek1440 and gotek720 (for accessing disc
    images on a Gotek-formatted USB drive)
  * New utilities: lsgotek(1) lists the disc images present on a
    Gotek-formatted USB drive. dsklabel(1) can view or set the disk
    label on DOS, CP/M or Acorn DFS filesystems.
  * New backend: dc42 for Apple Disk Copy 4.2
  * QRST backend supports QRST v5 compression (read-only).
  * Fix for geometry detection on LDBS backend where the sector
    size is not a power of 2.
  New in 1.4.x:
  * Bugfixes: Corrected various faults in the IMD file driver.
  * Added a 'complement' flag to the recording mode, allowing
    support of disk images where all bytes are stored complemented.
  * New backend: JV3 (for TRS-80 disc images in the JV3 format)
- Bump sover to 5
- Spec cleanup
