Padding drivers disks

[Martin Schulze <joey@finlandia.infodrom.north.de>]

Hi,

it occurred to me that there is a problem with padding of our drivers
disk images.

The uploaded drivers images are not zero-padded:

auric!joey(pts/23):/org/ftp-master.debian.org/ftp/dists/proposed-updates> l disks-i386/2.2.22-2001-04-09/images-1.44/driv*
-rw-rw-r--    1 troup    debadmin  1474560 Apr  2 13:25 disks-i386/2.2.22-2001-04-09/images-1.44/driver-1.bin
-rw-rw-r--    1 troup    debadmin  1474560 Apr  2 13:25 disks-i386/2.2.22-2001-04-09/images-1.44/driver-2.bin
-rw-rw-r--    1 troup    debadmin  1474560 Apr  2 13:25 disks-i386/2.2.22-2001-04-09/images-1.44/driver-3.bin
-rw-rw-r--    1 troup    debadmin   689152 Apr  2 13:25 disks-i386/2.2.22-2001-04-09/images-1.44/driver-4.bin

However, when I create new images they will be:

klecker!joey(pts/6):~/tmp/boot-floppies> l drv*
[..]
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1474560 Apr 15 05:32 drv14-1.bin
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1474560 Apr 15 05:32 drv14-2.bin
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1474560 Apr 15 05:32 drv14-3.bin
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1474560 Apr 15 05:32 drv14-4.bin

I've checked driverdisks.sh:

info "splitting drivers into floppy-sized chunks"
case $arch in
    i386)
        if [ -z "$revext" ] ; then
                ./utilities/floppy_split $outfile drv12$revext 1200
                pad_last_image drv12$revext 1200
        fi
        ./utilities/floppy_split $outfile drv14$revext 1440
        pad_last_image drv14$revext 1440
        ;;

pad_last_image () is from common.sh.

Adam, do you have an explanation for that?  Can you check the cvs status
of your driverdisks.sh and common.sh?

Regards,

	Joey
