is this still WIP? Because i got a working package.yml for version 0.3.11 here.
I started it because you didn't claim the task.

Well it is also working, I just need to test it a bit more and add some text.
In addition the 0.3 versions are declared unstable and testing... Not sure if we should use it.

Sure. No problem, it was my mistake anyway.

But it should be noted, that they didn't upload any sources on their homepage since 2016, but on their github https://github.com/Thomas-Tsai/partclone which they consider stable as well.

"master branch is NOT STABLE, Please check 'release' branch"

We don't just use git commits for packages unless there is a hefty reason (like a critical bug) so on GitHub their last release is also 0.2.89 / 0.3.11.
However I did some research and saw that openSUSE, Ubuntu and Debian also use 0.3.11, so I guess it should be stable enough for us.

Switch to partclone 0.3.11

Sorry, what is this needed for?

Sorry, missed to mention T4750. It's a tool to create and restore images of almost every filesystem and is also used by CloneZilla which means we are compatible to one very popular backup solution.
