ftape upload
Hi,
I just saw that the .changes file for the ftape upload is rather
coarse ;-)
So here is the description field of ftape:
Depends: modutils (>= 2.1.34-4), ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: Bleeding Edge floppy tape driver
THIS IS THE LATEST (STABLE) RELEASE SO BE FOREWARNED !
A substitution for the stock ftape driver in the kernel. Main reason
for packaging was the support for formatting tapes. There exist two
interfaces for ftape now: the old ftape and the newer and better
maintained zftape. You have to run a kernel with module support and
with the standard ftape disabled
before you are able to install this package. The modules will be installed in
the generic debian module directory of 2.0.30. If you have a special
controller, you have to customize /etc/conf.modules to suit your
needs. If you want to build for another kernel version, grab the
debian source package and build your own ftape. You will need debmake
for your own compilation.
Greetings,
Christian

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
