for building expert systems which administrate and configure large
computer networks. Cfengine uses the idea of classes and a primitive
form of intelligence to define and automate the configuration of
large systems in the most economical way possible. Cfengine is
designed to be a part of computer immune system.
Cfengine 3 is operationally backwards compatible with Cfengine 2, but the
language is not. Cfengine 3 is not a drop-in replacement for Cfengine 2.
In version 1.23, the default to not sync every 512 soft blocks is now really
changed to only sync at the end (documented for 1.18, but mostly ineffective,
ouch). More importantly, a short read because of EOF is now not considered an
error any more and thus neither triggers messages (with quiet) nor does it
cause a confusing exit code any more.
Version 1.22 contains a number of little improvements: Display of compiler,
compile time, enabled options, don't repeat copy attempts if hardbs == softbs,
fix FPE in progress bar for non-seekable input reverse copy, and make the code
more digestable for non-GCC compilers, optional fallbacks for strsignal, pread,
pwrite. Last not least, the documentation has a few notes on the goodies now.
Version 1.21 issues warnings when writing in a sparse mode into existing files
or to block devices.
In version 1.20, there's also a progress estimation if input file size is
unknown, but transfer size is limited with -m.
Version 1.19 brings the support for fallocate.
In version 1.18, we have changed the default to -y0 (no fsync), the avg. speed
is calculated in a meaningful way nevertheless now.
In version 1.17, a progress bar, completion percentage and ETA has been added.
In version 1.16, the work was done to determine and display the total amount of
data that will be copied.
Version 1.15 brings support for the Linux splice() mechanism to avoid copying
data to a userspace bugffer.
Changelog:
Version 4.2.1
3 October 2010
-fix offsets/addresses were not being reported correctly in test failure
messages. Thanks: Anton Sergeev.
Version 4.2.0
30 July 2010
-define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS to 64 by default in conf-cc, which causes some
32-bit systems with larger-than-32-bit address spaces to have a 64-bit off_t,
allowing testing of larger chunks of memory. Thanks to Steven A. Falco for
the suggestion. Let me know if this definition causes problems for anyone.
-add tests of 8-bit-wide and 16-bit-wide random writes, to enable verifying
the correct operation of hardware. Thanks: Dick Hollenbeck. If these tests
trigger unaligned access problems on your platform, you can eliminate these
tests by removing the -DTEST_NARROW_WRITES definition from the conf-cc file.
and avoid setgid kmem on NetBSD with privileged installation.
XXX: if certain owner/group/mode for executable are really required on sertain
XXX: platforms, set SPECIAL_PERMS individually.
1.2.0: Some new features!
-Progress bar and speed enhancements/system load reduction
coming with it - many thanks to Eric Kilfoil!
-Vobcopy can now "rip" from an iso image on hdd or a directory
containing a VIDEO_TS directory. People seem to need this for
streaming dvd content to a ps3 via fuppes. That part seem to
be buggy though, works 50/50. Will look further into that.
-Option -M to rip the title with the longest playing time.
-Other small corrections I think.
- matches previous package name without "${RUBY_PKGPREFIX}-"
- matches current "ruby18-" and "ruby19-" packages
Bump PKGREVISION because addition of latter pattern.
- matches previous package name without "${RUBY_PKGPREFIX}-"
- matches current "ruby18-" and "ruby19-" packages
* Since these packages aren't update its version during update of Ruby
package's framework, bump PKGREVISION for safe update. Noted by
obache@ on tech-pkg.
* Use lang/ruby/gem.mk instead of misc/rubygems/rubygem.mk.
* Move MASTER_SITES to first section.
* Update HOMEPAGE.
* Add LICENSE.
* Remove default value of GEM_BUILD.
* Add CONFLICTS since it will install the same name commands both
ruby18 and ruby19 based packages.
