Bug 100058 – Arch testing request for sys-block/unieject

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-07-23 12:42:13 UTC]

I've added my unieject-2 to portage, a drop-in replacement for sys-apps/eject  
using dev-libs/libcdio. 
 
I can just try it on AMD64/Linux and x86/FreeBSD it's just marked ~amd64; if 
arches can test and mark it (or report failures) that can be an alterantive to 
eject command. 
 
Thanks in advance, 
Diego

added ~ppc64

[Comment 2 Ian Leitch (RETIRED) 2005-07-24 01:33:07 UTC]

Marked ~x86.

Problems found:
-n returns nothing
umounting does not work, even with -f
eject provides a volname binary, unieject does not.

> -n returns nothing 
This would report problems with unmounting/looking of devices. It's best    
suited with -v. 
 
> umounting does not work, even with -f    
To use unmount features you must use eject by root, I still have to figure out 
how to use libcap to make use of capabilities. 
 
> eject provides a volname binary, unieject does not. 
I know, and I'm planning something like this: as volname isn't exactly  
something an eject program would provide in general (neither bsd's eject has  
it), I'll write a volname replacement with libcdio and add that to libcdio  
bundle (directly upstream). 
Last time I looked (to add virtual/eject), software depending on eject wasn't  
using volname at all.

~sparc happy

[Comment 5 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-07-30 16:45:19 UTC]

Re-adding sparc and ppc64 back, sorry for the trouble guys. 
unieject-3 uses dev-libs/confuse for configuration file handling, which is not 
marked for those arches.
