Description Shark 2006-10-02 03:25:11 UTC
Changelog from 
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/tools/growisofs.c
 * 7.0:
 * - Blu-ray Disc support [upon release tested with Panasonic SW-5582];
 * - Mac OS X 10>=2 support [upon release tested on 10.4 only];
 * - Linux: copy <linux/raw.h> definitions directly into application
 *   code in order to secure backward compatibility;
 * - Linux: overcome 16MB O_DIRECT limitaton for NFS client;
 * - limit ring buffer size to 1/4 of RAM;
 * - copy volume descriptors if -C was specified with -M /dev/dvd=image
 *   [by request from K3b];
 * - -use-the-force-luke=spare[:none|min] to control blank BD pre-format
 *   [for finer control use dvd+rw-format];
 * - some units, e.g. Lite-on SOHW-1693S, seem to fire off OPC already
 *   upon Layer Break command, therefore longer timeout is required;
 * - Linux: deploy BLKFLSBUF to avoid media reloads when possible;
 * - add unit buffer utilization indicator [by request from K3b];

I've renamed the 6.1-r1's ebuild and it works without problems on ~x86.
Comment 1 David Watzke 2006-10-03 12:14:23 UTC
Works nice on ~amd64, too...
Comment 2 Paolo Pedroni 2006-10-04 16:58:24 UTC
...and it appears to fix ulimit problems as well (see bug 135832)...

Please get it in portage (and stable) as soon as possible

K3b version from SVN needs this,too:

"It is highly recommended to use growisofs 7.0 or higher. K3b won't be able to write a DVD+RW in multiple sessions using a growisofs version older than 7.0."

Bumped on cvs
Thanks all
