Please have a look at the German open Source Center BerliOS at www.berlios.de BerliOS will continue to support free hosting of cryptography projects even when US laws change and don't allow to host cryptography projects in the USA. Also look at sourcewell.berlios.de, the first Open Source announcement service that itself is implemented as Open Source project. ***************** Important news **************************** For the 'Slottable Source Plugin Module' SSPM Features read README.SSPM ***************** Please Test ********************************* NEW features of cdrtools-2.01.01a04: ******* NOTE: this is _not_ a release that starts a new aplha/beta series of dirtibutions. The only reason is to add certain new CD/DVD features that are important. So _please_ do not send any patches except when you like to fix extreme bugs. I am currently mainly working on stable incremental restore featurs for star-1.5-final. Once star-1.5-final is out, cdrtools will start a new developent cycle. ******* All: - astoull*() new in schily.h - utypes.h now has MAX_ and MIN_ value definitions for all basic system types. - Using Makefiles-1.5a02 - Support added to compile in 64 bit mode on Solaris Sparc. Use: smake CCOM=cc64 - Support added to compile shared libraries with version numbers for interface levels and make inofficial "interfaces" static - Prevent gmake to go into an enless loop on Solaris in case that /usr/ucb/tr is before /usr/bin/tr in PATH - Better autoconf error message ion case that the expected C-compiler could not be found. - Mac OS X now installs files as root:wheel - Supply linker mapfiles for all libraries. This allows cdrtools to be compiles using shared libraries only and to properly hide inofficial interfaces on Solaris (using ls) Note that this feature is not available with GNU ld Libparanoia (Ported by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu): Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de): Libscg: - Autoconf test for broken Linux sg.h headers added - if libscg is compiles on newer Solaris systems, the warning: "Warning: Volume management is running, medialess managed drives are invisible.\n" is no longer printed. Since Solaris 11 Build 21, vold no longer hides empty drives that are under volume management. This now allows cdrecord to be even used to close the tray while vold is running. The criteria used to decide whether Solaris is "recent enough" is #ifndef SEEK_HOLE The definition SEEK_HOLE has been added with Solaris 11 Build 14 while the fixed vold appears in Solaris 11 Build 21. - Support for root-less cdrecord using fine-grained privileges. Remote SCSI not tests for PRIV_NET_PRIVADDR instead of (geteuid() == 0) If you like all users to be able to call cdrecord root-less, you need Solaris 10 or newer. Edit the file /etc/security/exec_attr and add: All:solaris:cmd:::/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: privs=file_dac_read,sys_devices,proc_lock_memory,proc_priocntl,net_privaddr All:solaris:cmd:::/opt/schily/bin/readcd: privs=file_dac_read,sys_devices,net_privaddr All:solaris:cmd:::/opt/schily/bin/cdda2wav: privs=file_dac_read,sys_devices,net_privaddr If you like to allow only specific user to use cdrecord, use something like: CD RW:solaris:cmd:::/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: privs=file_dac_read,sys_devices,proc_lock_memory,proc_priocntl,net_privaddr instead and make the users members of the profile "CD RW" by adding a line like: joerg::::profiles=CD RW into /etc/user_attr Note that you either need to call cdrecord via "pfexec cdrecord ....." or by using a profile aware shell (e.g. /usr/bin/pfksh) Rscsi: Cdrecord: - Correctly evaluate the write speeds for Ultra speed+ CD-RW media. This prevents wrong warnings that the "drive does not support Ultra speed+" - Fixed a typo in the driveropts=help messages Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de): - Added a workaround for the _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING behavior on MacosX: defined but not supported# Thanks to: Emanuele Giaquinta - Bugfix: cdda2wav did previously chose to ignore the result of realloc(3) This prevents core-dumps. Readcd: Scgcheck: Scgskeleton: Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk): - mkisofs now detects if a file grows or shrinks while being read by mkisofs. 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. Joerg
