util-linux taking over eject, kfreebsd concerns.

[Andreas Henriksson <andreas@fatal.se>]

Hello!

The eject utility has been incorporated into util-linux upstream a very
long time ago. In Debian we're still shipping the abandoned version
as a separate package. I've been looking at shipping the util-linux
version (and transitioning away from the separate eject package).

Help is now needed to handle kfreebsd specific issues.

For example this is included in eject pkgs debian/rules:

ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS), kfreebsd)
cdrom           =       --enable-default-device=acd0
nodevmapper     =       1
endif


$ ssh falla.debian.org
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host


Logged onto fischer.debian.org which and looked in /dev:

ah@fischer:~$ ls -l /dev/cdrom 
lrw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 3 maj 20 20:48 /dev/cdrom -> cd0
ah@fischer:~$ ls /dev/acd0
ls: cannot access /dev/acd0: No such file or directory
ah@fischer:~$ 

Please advice. Status is tracked in Bug#737658.

There doesn't seem to be any configure switch to set the default
device in util-linux version of eject so if it's still needed,
this is a great first start for someone wanting to get a feel
for how to submit patches to upstream util-linux project.
