loop forever (consuming a lot of CPU) if the parent process (e.g.
shell) were to suddenly die -- rtty was not properly checking for
the EOF condition.
Patch from Andrew Flury <aflury@zembu.com>.
* should not cause any conflicts with the new bulk-package targets,
* didn't contain a reason for why they were disabled or
* were disabled for some false reason (and a IGNORE/BROKEN in the pkg's
Makefile would be more appropriate)
directories when creating an image. Now works with and requires mkisofs
from cdrtools 1.9a03 and later. Shows verbose info about CDs. -data option
and CDplus options added for multisession. Addition of a busy pointer.
Changes to 1.8.1 are:
All:
- Fallback code to use the USCSI interface on Solaris
This should add ATAPI support on Solaris 8 sparc.
Solaris 8 x86 does support ATAPI with the scg driver
as Sun fixed the structural bug for thw Intel version.
Warning: The USCI interface has several drawbacks:
- Only finds disk type devices with -scanbus
- Cannot open devices that are currently attached
to the volume management system
- The Goldstar ATAPI CD-ROM in a U-10 transfers data
but the DMA residual count shows that there has
been no transfer at all.
Facit: Test by your own if this interface is usable.
Please report problems!
To check the difference:
cdrecord -scanbus uses the scg driver
cdrecord -scanbus dev=USCSI uses the USCSI interface
cdrecord -toc dev=1,6,0 uses the scg driver
cdrecord -toc dev=USCSI:1,6,0 uses the USCSI interface
NOTE: If you are using the USCSI interface you will need
to shut down the volume management for the drives
you like to use.
- Linux code in libscg now tries to use new features of the
Linus sg driver:
- Trying to use more then 32 kB for DMA
The interface for raising the DMA limit from 32 kB
is a real pain. It needs a lot of code to adopt
the interface to libscg.
- Trying to use the new ioctl() interface if present.
This interface now supports:
- SCSI CDB sizes for vendor unique commands
- SCSI status byte
- SCSI command transport status
- More than 16 bytes of sense data
(not yet working!)
- DMA residual count
(not yet working!)
- Arbitrary DMA address pointers !!!
- Trying to use the new RESET ioctl()
(not yet working!)
All items marked (not yet working!) will turn funtional
after the Linux kernel starts to support them.
It seems that my shouting for a better SCSI interface succeeded.
Linux-2.4 supports or at least includes an interface that may
support the needed things in future.
As from now it is unclear whether the code will expose
any portability problems, please test on different Linux
versions from 2.0 ... 2.4 if available and report problems.
- README.macosX added (needed to know how to compile).
As Apple deliveres an inconsistent OS, you need to follow the
instuctions in this README file before you may compile
cdrtools on Mac OS X.
TODO:
- Better BeOS integration
Cdrecord:
- include sys/select.h if needed (AIX)
- Support for Ricoh 9060 CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive
- Support for Plextor PX-W1210TA (with BURN-Proof)
- Printing of new features added to -prcap function
- New Disk manufacturers:
"WEALTH FAIR INVESTMENT LIMITE"
"General Magnetics Ld"
"MPO"
- DAO now should work with pregapsize == 0 when
using Sony or Goldstar drives.
Cdrecord retries with pregaps set to 1
- New options -shorttrack & -noshorttrack
will allow to copy CD's with supershort tracks
in DAO mode if the drive supports it.
- Fix for a buffer overflow with cdrecord dev=
This problem did not exist on sparc systems,
for this reason it has not been detected before.
- ATIP Decoder now decodes disk sub type for High speed CD-RW
- Support for 99 minute CD's.
- Force the user to use -ignsize to allow >= 90 Minutes on CD even
when the current CD is not in the blank capacity database.
Cdda2wav:
- support for cds with illegal leadout (like HIM-CD)
- bugfix for cd-text detection with plextor/Sony command sets
- should compile and run under Mac-OS-X now
- bugfix with the -q (quiet) option
- bugfix use extra libs (like lossaudio for NetBSD)
- bugfix use the correct sound device for Solaris
- hardened cdda2wav against illegal ISRC codes
- more diagnostics for illegal ISRCs
- use setpriority in favor of nice
- updated cdda2mp3 script for lame usage (alpha)
Readcd:
- minor bugfixes with timing
- New options -noerror & retries=#
- restructured to be more flexible
- Support for C2 error pointer scan with MMC drives &
the Plextor U-Plex 40 CD-ROM
Mkisofs:
- Now mkhybrid code is completely integrated into mkisofs.
There is only one binary. To help users of mkhybrid,
make install creates a hard link from mkhybroid to mkisofs.
- man page cleaned up.
- Now mkhybrid code is completely integrated into mkisofs.
There is only one binary. To help users of mkhybrid,
make install creates a hard link from mkhybroid to mkisofs.
- New Option -eltorito-alt-boot allows to specify more
than one Al Torito boot image (up to 63).
Thanks to Egor Duda (deo@logos-m.ru).
- fixed a core dump problem in multi.c
- write.c now uses static buffer to circumvent a problem
with the stone age Metrowerks C found on BeOS/PPC
- Allow printing of percentage ready without floatingpoint code
in printf.
- apple_driver now compiles, but need to call
make -f apple_driver.mk
by hand
- graft pointers are now really usable:
- Graft points are now disabled by default
- To enable, specify the -graft-point option
dir=dir only works if the '=' is not escaped by '\'
'\\' and '=' must be escaped by a '\\' if
-graft-points has been specified.
- Now there is no more a need to specify a command line arg
if -path-list has been specified.
which takes entries of the format <make-definition-name>=<pkgname>. This
has not been added to MAKEFLAGS because (a) premature optimisation is the
root of all evil, and (b) because the .for loop used to implement this
shows the wrong results when multiple prefices are evaluated.
Modify all the package Makefiles to use EVAL_PREFIX, thereby simplifying
them considerably.
ALso simplify the logic to calculate the prefix as well.
package's prefix would not work as part of the environment specification
via MAKE_ENV (as it would not be executed in the correct directory).
Fix this by invoking pkg_info(1) directly, not via an intermediate make(1)
step - this is not as clean, but more effective (i.e. it works).
Add definitions to the environment on Solaris so that xpm is found.
Make the dependency on egcs for Solaris a build dependency.
Re-calculate patch checksums.
a bit more user-friendly.
Introduce a show-{gtk+,imlib,kdebase,qt1,qt2,xpm}-prefix target in
bsd.pkg.mk, and use "${MAKE} show-*-prefix" in package Makefiles.
weren't hard coded into the program
- setup up standard NetBSD build rules for the scsi library as is done with
the cdrecord pkg.
- use /dev/rcd0d for i386 but /dev/rcd0c for other archs (instead of /dev/rcd0d
for everything). This is only a default and can be overridden at run time.
BSD-relevant changes:
o Updated FreeBSD, NetBSD, NeXTSTEP, OpenBSD, and OpenStep support to
report "no PCB" and the values of the SO_CANTSENDMORE and
SO_CANTRCVMORE state flags when a socket structure has no inpcb
pointer.
o Upgraded support for FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT. Ben Smithurst
<ben@scientia.demon.co.uk> supplied patches and did testing. David
O'Brien <obrien@NUXI.com> supplied a test system. The update included
dropping the Fctty part of file descriptor file system support,
conditional on a Configure script test. I propagated those changes to
BSDI, NetBSD, and OpenBSD in anticipation of their having the
modification in the future.
o Added support for 64 bit file sizes and offsets on BSDI, FreeBSD,
NetBSD, and OpenBSD, based on a report from Dan Nelson
<dnelson@emsphone.com>. Dan supplied a patch and did FreeBSD testing.
o Added Configure script recognition of NetBSD 1.5, based on a report
from Andrew Brown <atatat@atatdot.net>.
libkvm isn't needed, and skill/snice can run without setgid. Tested on
1.3.3, 1.4 and 1.5A, and should work all the way back to NetBSD 0.8.
Note: applies for NetBSD only, not Solaris :)
logroll:
- rotate ipmon log (no processing yet)
proc-httpd-errors
- do not report usernames on authentication failures (better summary
and possible passwords are not shown)
- do not report "file not found" errors (not useful at system level,
and some authors choose to live with such links produced by tools)
- do not report "no acceptable variant" (the user gets a menu)
- do not report clients blocked by server configuration
proc-messages
- updates to local domains and networks (needs a config file)
- handle multi-port HP print servers successfully
- handle ntpd v4 messages
- handle new NetBSD messages (up-to 1.4Y)
- update named to BIND v8.2.2-P5, and add some new types of messages
- handle verbose amd startup
- minor updates: inetd, sendmail, snmpd, sshd
- new daemons: dhcpd, dhclient, gated, gdc, lpd, portmap, savecore, tftpd
- added a placeholder for mrouted
proc-news
- don't count "msgid:" as a system with connection failures (the failed
connections are probably to msgidd, e.g. it is not running)
