out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
* Libtoolize build.
* Teach rplay to look for libedit readline emulation if it exists.
* Add dependency on rx-1.5.
Changes since rplay 3.3.1:
* Added devrplay.so which can be used with LD_PRELOAD to add rplay support
to audio applications use /dev/dsp. devrplay is known to work with rvplayer,
xmp, mpg123, freeamp, s3mod, esd (Enlightenment Sound Daemon) and even
rplayd itself. devrplay.so should be installed in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Example usage:
bash$ LD_PRELOAD=devrplay.so rvplayer
bash$ LD_PRELOAD=devrplay.so /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rvplayer/rvplayer
bash$ LD_PRELOAD=devrplay.so dd if=/foo/bar/sound.wav of=/dev/dsp
bash$ LD_PRELOAD=devrplay.so xxmp sound.mod
bash$ LD_PRELOAD=devrplay.so mpg123 sound.mp3
tcsh users will probably need to `setenv LD_PRELOAD devrplay.so; command'
instead of using the `LD_PRELOAD=devrplay.so command' syntax.
devrplay has only been tested on Linux, but it should be possible to
get it working on other systems.
* Added rptp "set" command. This can be used to set rplayd
variables. One important use of this is to set the audio-close
variable. Examples:
Tell rplayd to close the audio device:
$ rptp set audio-close 1
Tell rplayd *not* to close the audio device:
$ rptp set audio-close 0
* Added rplayd monitor support which allows rptp clients to monitor
audio data that is written to the audio device. rptp clients can
now issue the "monitor" command to start receiving audio data.
One use of this feature is to pipe the audio data to a program
for visual display.
* rptp includes support for GNU readline and also displays progress
information when doing get, put, and monitor.
* Fixed several potential rplayd buffer overflows.
Changes since rplay 3.2:
* Improved Linux support, including playing sounds directly
from ATAPI CDROM. Tested with the following:
Linux 2.0.34
Debian 2.0
ESS ES1688 AudioDrive (rev 6) (3.1)
TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-1502B, ATAPI CDROM drive
This also includes a new --audio-fragsize rplayd option. See
README.linux for more information.
* Support for external helper applications used to convert
unsupported audio formats. Helpers can be configured to
support formats such as MPEG (using mpg123), modules
(using xmp), and any other format that can be converted
using a stdin -> stdout filter.
* --fork and --no-fork rplayd options. When not in debug or inetd
mode, rplayd will fork to put itself in the background.
* rplayd is now installed in $prefix/sbin/rplayd instead of
$prefix/bin/rplayd.
* Running rplayd from inetd now requires the --inetd option.
* --enable-rplayd-user=USER and --enable-rplayd-group=GROUP
configure options.
* --user=USER and --group=GROUP rplayd options.
* Lots of bug fixes.
