Devlabel 0.43.16 is available (tarball or RPM):

* Created a device ignore list in /var/lib/devlabel/ignore_list such that devlabel can keep track of devices it shouldn't query for IDs since it knows they won't return IDs and likely will only spew errors to the screen instead. The ignore_list is cleared every time devlabel is restarted or after /proc/partitions has changed since the last time devlabel has run.

* The previous version (0.42.05) had a bug in it due to the way it used sfdisk -V to determine if a device should be ignored or not. This bug will make devlabel unable to use any device that has trivial problems in its partitioning scheme (eg. paritition does not end on a cylinder boundary). This has been fixed in this version.

* Added mktemp as a required package.
