2001-04-19 Jeff Tranter <tranter@pobox.com> * Version 2.0.3 released * incorporated Debian packager's patches * added volname program * ignore comments in /etc/fstab * partial support for devfs (/dev/cdroms) * force kernel to re-read partition table when new media inserted * handle symlinks that are not canonical * #include changes for recent (2.4.x) kernels * former sunsite archive site is now ibiblio.org 1999-02-14 Jeff Tranter <tranter@pobox.com> * Version 2.0.2 released * eject.c: under 2.1/2.2 kernels CDROM_SELECT_DISC returns the slot number, so the check for error should be for a return value less than 0; added parenthesis to suppress an egcs compile warning; these changes thanks to Richard Simpson <rs@rcsimpson.demon.co.ukdump.demon.co.uk> * Makefile: add rule for 'ci' (RCS checkin) 1999-02-08 Jeff Tranter <tranter@pobox.com> * Version 2.0.1 released * -c option did not allow value of 0, fix submitted by Dariusz Kowalewski 1999-01-21 Jeff Tranter <tranter@pobox.com> * Version 2.0 released * Changelog: changed to use standard GNU changelog format * Makefile: added RPM_OPT_FLAGS to Makefile * README: mentioned related tools * TODO: possibly add ziptool functionality in future * eject.1: show -n option in synopsis * eject.c: show -n option in usage * eject.c: -n option should not say "device to be *ejected*", because another option, such as tray close, may have been selected * eject.1: added description of what examples do * eject.1: documented return codes 1999-01-10 Jeff Tranter <tranter@pobox.com> * Version 2.0beta4 released * Makefile: uses variables to make it easier to modify * Makefile: separate CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS * Makefile: added -I/usr/src/linux for systems that do not have /usr/include/scsi linked to /usr/src/linux/include/scsi * Makefile: can set default device in Makefile * eject.1: clarified some statements * eject.c: now checks for devices in /dev/rdsk and /dev/dsk for systems that use devfs such as Solaris and probably Linux in future * eject.c: moved up processing of -d option to earlier in main() * eject.c: added -n option * eject.c: use of getopt_long is now conditional * eject.c: if device is not mounted according to /proc/mounts, now also checks /etc/fstab to see if it is a potential mount point * eject.c: only check /etc/mtab because /proc/mounts shows names of devices without following symlinks (too bad, because /proc/mounts is faster) * provided RPM spec file for building a Red Hat package (thanks to Jochen A. Stein) 1999-01-05 Jeff Tranter <tranter@pobox.com> * Version 2.0beta3 released * eject.c: now tries to unmount all partitions of a multi-partition device * eject.c: a couple of internal functions were made static * eject.c: -q option was omitted from usage dsplay * eject.1: added examples to man page * INSTALL: added list of possible problems 1999-01-03 Jeff Tranter <tranter@pobox.com> * Version 2.0beta2 released * eject.c: strip any trailing slash from name in case user used bash/tcsh style filename completion (suggested by Tobias Richter) * eject.c: new -q option for ejecting using magnetic tape ioctl * eject.c: made status messages less technical (use English rather than ioctl names) * eject.c: set effective user ID to user ID before execl * eject.c: quit if umount fails 1999-01-01 Jeff Tranter <tranter@pobox.com> * Version 2.0beta1 released * eject.c: almost completely an entire rewrite * eject.c: no longer uses old nickname scheme, uses heuristics to find device instead * eject.c: no longer uses CDROM environment variable (could be added, but did anyone actually use it?) * eject.c: supports naming mount points * eject.c: does not attempt to check for specific SCSI devices * eject.c: support for tray close command added * eject.c: always tries to unmount mounted devices * eject.c: alternate long option names 1997-01-05 Jeff Tranter <tranter@pobox.com> * Version 1.5 released * changes submitted by Donnie Barnes (djb@redhat.com): * supports Zip and Jaz drives * can now unmount multiple partitions * no longer need -f option in order for -u option to work * uses new CDROM_SELECT_DISC ioctl in favour of CDROMLOADFROMSLOT 1996-09-08 Jeff Tranter <tranter@pobox.com> * Version 1.4 released * changes submitted by Donnie Barnes (djb@redhat.com): * support for ejecting floppy drives under Linux on the Sun/SPARC platform * minor formatting and code changes * new author's e-mail address * added a few more nicknames 199?-??-??
