Too many changes to list them all here; see following for full details:
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/AN-2.0
cdrecord:
-overburn option
Driveropts "burnproof" renamed to "burnfree"
CD-Text support.
cdda2wav:
Added -L to query freedb.freedb.org for CDDB information.
mkisofs:
Fix -graft-points.
Various fixes to HFS support.
libedc:
Performance enhancements.
libscg:
Various improvements to SCSI & ATAPI transports.
- set the PKGNAME of the devel version to "cdrecord" as well, and
remove the conflicts lines for cdrecord-{,devel-}[0-9]*
- set the version of the devel version to "1.10.34".
remove unwanted paths to headers and libraries when invoking the
compiler. Also remove patches that are no longer needed with the
complete conversion of this package to buildlink2.
* Also run cdda2wav.1 through tbl to make "man cdda2wav" readable for the
-v option.
* Rearrange logic to simplify/shorten the package Makefile.
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
I admitt its an ugly hack, but this allows xcdroast to work
on most common configurations. Anyone with more scsi knowledge
should feel free to enhance this code :-)
Also bump version to 1.9nb1.
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.
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
