libreiserfs is a library for ReiserFS filesystem access and manipulation. The primary goal is to develop a fully functional library which may be linked from other projects which need ReiserFS filesystem access. GNU Parted can currently use libreiserfs, other programs which may include GNU GRUB, Yaboot, partimage and EVMS. . This package contains the debugging static libraries for libreiserfs, which is needed for debugging programs linked with libreiserfs. The debugging libraries are installed as /usr/lib/libdal_g.a and /usr/lib/libreiserfs_g.a. You need to link specifically with them if you want to debug your programs.
