cdrtools-2.01a29 ready
NEW features of cdrtools-2.01a29:
All:
- Add a workaround for a SCO OpenServer C-compiler bug.
The bug causes the first function in a function to be called
before the new stack frame has been established and did cause
scanning the stack frame to fail.
- Make snprintf() POSIX compliant.
Libparanoia (Ported by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu):
- modified to avoid GCCs shadowed variable warnings.
Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):
Libscg:
- Fixed a bug in the Win32 SPTI/ASPI interface introduced with 2.01a28
that caused core dumps because it did try to access data behind the end of the
sense data array in the ASPI cmd structure.
Rscsi:
Cdrecord:
- cdrecord -scanbus now checks for 256 SCSI busses
This has already been announced for 2.01a28 but forgotten to include
- Some Man Page Fixes trying to avoid coding problems for non 7-bit ACSII
- Several typos in the man page fixed
- Man page enhanced to include a better documentation for the driver=
option.
- Several other enhancements to the man page
- modified to avoid GCCs shadowed variable warnings.
- Cdrecord now tolerates the OPC "error code" "Power calibration area almost full"
to not a real error.
Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):
- Some Man Page Fixes trying to avoid coding problems for non 7-bit ACSII
Readcd:
Scgcheck:
Scgskeleton:
- New Skeleton program as sample and template for programs that like to
use libscg.
This template has been included to help people like the Author of the
BTC firmware flash program to write simple portable applications that
send arbitrary SCSI commands to arbitrary drives.
Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk):
- Avoid GCCs shadowed variable warnings.
- Added a comment is in hope to prevent silly people from
e.g. SuSE (who did not yet learn C but believe that
they need to patch other peoples code) from changing a
valid cast into an illegal lhs cast expression.
The cast in the unodified version of write.c is the correct way to
handle the problem.
It would save a lot of time if people from companies like SuSE
would remember the Open Source software development model and
contact the Author for help rather than introducing proprietary
changes that result in worse and incompatible software variants.
The way, companies like SuSE deal with Open Source software just
proves that Jonathan Schwartz from Sun is not wrong when he calls
SuSE and RedHat proprietary software companies. Users from Open Source
software expect that companies like SuSE and RedHat are in close
contact with the software developers but they unfortunately are not.
They prefer to create proprietary variants that are usually much
worse than the original software. The only explanation I have for this
behaviour is that SuSE likes to deviate from RedHat and RedHat likes
to deviate from SuSE in hope to get customer retention this way.
While the last 150 years did prove that this proprietary method to
tie up customers works for a limited time, it did always fail after
some time.
TODO:
- read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL
or RR is present. I am looking for a volouteer for this task!
Note that this can never be 100% correct as there is no relation
between the names on the master (UNIX) filesystem, the ISO-9660
names and the Joliet names. Only the Rock Ridge names are
untranslated with respect to the original files on the
master (UNIX) filesystem.
- add libecc/edc for CDI and similar.
CYGWIN NT-4.0 NOTES:
To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin and install it.
For more information read README.win32
The files are located on:
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha ...
NOTE: These tar archives are 100% POSIX compatible. GNU tar may get some
minor trouble. If you like a 100% POSIX compliant tar, get star from
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/
WARNING: Do not use 'winzip' to extract the tar file!
Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
