We also lessen the allowed amount of dirty data for this block + device in order to create less memory pressure on the system. These tweaks + are done by touching the corresponding sysfs files of the block device. The + old bmaptool behavior was that it failed when it could not modify these + files. However, there are systems where users can write to some block + devices (USB sticks, for example), but they do not have permissions to + change the sysfs files, and bmaptool did not work for normal users on such + systems. In version 2.5 we change the behavior and do not fail anymore if we + do not have enough permissions for changing sysfs files, simply because this + is an optimization, although a quite important one. However, we do print a + warning message. + +2. Many improvements and fixes in the Debian packaging, which should make it + simpler for distributions to package bmap-tools. + Bug-fix release 2.4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ diff --git a/packaging/bmap-tools.changes b/packaging/bmap-tools.changes index 893e776..00d6ada 100644 --- a/packaging/bmap-tools.changes +++ b/packaging/bmap-tools.changes @@ -1,3 +1,8 @@ +Mon Aug 5 07:05:59 UTC 2013 - Artem Bityutskiy 2.5-1 +- Do not fail when lacking permisssions for accessing block device's sysfs + files. +- Improve debian packaging. + Wed Jun 5 15:16:42 UTC 2013 - Artem Bityutskiy 2.4-1 - Add ssh:// URLs support. diff --git a/packaging/bmap-tools.dsc b/packaging/bmap-tools.dsc index 35097e3..09a925c 100644 --- a/packaging/bmap-tools.dsc +++ b/packaging/bmap-tools.dsc @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ Format: 1.0 Source: bmap-tools Binary: bmap-tools Architecture: all -Version: 2.4-1 +Version: 2.5-1 Maintainer: Artem Bityutskiy Standards-Version: 3.8.4 Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), python-all, python-distribute diff --git a/packaging/bmap-tools.spec b/packaging/bmap-tools.spec index be6e63c..213a5bb 100644 --- a/packaging/bmap-tools.spec +++ b/packaging/bmap-tools.spec @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ Name: bmap-tools Summary: Tools to generate block map (AKA bmap) and flash images using bmap -Version: 2.4 +Version: 2.5 %if 0%{?opensuse_bs} Release: %{rc_str}.. diff --git a/setup.py b/setup.py index ca61d37..72fbd36 100644 --- a/setup.py +++ b/setup.py @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ setup( description="Bmap tools", author="Artem Bityutskiy", author_email="artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com", - version="2.4", + version="2.5", scripts=['bmaptool'], packages=find_packages(exclude=["test*"]), license='GPLv2',
