bfr (1.5) unstable; urgency=low * added a hyphen in the description. Closes: #124447 * Turned on -Wall by default, included some headerfiles. Closes: #124398 * Added a --fork (-f) option, to fork off a 10k reader for cases where buggy kernels block a process indefiniately to read from a cdrom, NFS, etc even when nonblocking I/O is being used. * Added an --output (-o) option, to change the default behavior where bfr outputs to stdout, and bfp outputs to /dev/dsp. * Fixed an extremely silly error regarding some percent signs which I wanted to literally print but were turned into format strings, again turned up by -Wall. * Minor progress-bar related fixes. * Added some testsuite entries to properly kick --fork's tires. * Various code cleanups in testsuite's test.c, uncovered by -Wall. -- Mark Glines Sun, 3 Feb 2002 12:09:31 -0800 bfr (1.4) unstable testing; urgency=low * Progress bar updating (and clearing previous line) works much more nicely * Minor debianization cleanups suggested by Adam Lazur -- Mark Glines Tue, 13 Nov 2001 12:39:25 -0800 bfr (1.3) unstable testing; urgency=low * Fixed the progress bar * Fixed some warnings with Debian sid's automake 1.4-p4 * Updated my e-mail address everywhere -- Mark Glines Fri, 26 Oct 2001 21:42:49 -0700 bfr (1.2) unstable testing; urgency=low * Incorporated (in an idea sense, at least) an --initial (special case of RO) from Arnd Bergmann (thanks!) * Looks like Rob Ekl finally found a bug that would sometimes cause bfr/bfp to hang at end of execution rather than exit cleanly, incorporated his patch (thanks!) * Redid the status bar completely, I want feedback on whether its better or worse. * Reworked most of the command-line arguments to be more consistent with suffixes, and especially, to allow them to use the % suffix, which is based on buffersize. -- Mark Glines Wed, 10 Oct 2001 19:02:52 -0700 bfr (1.1) unstable testing; urgency=low * found a tiny bug which sometimes caused bfr to enter a nonstop loop rather than exiting cleanly, when its job was finished. * fixed it. * updated the manpage slightly. it still sucks, but now it sucks a little more accurately. -- Mark Glines Sat, 26 May 2001 22:07:33 -0700 bfr (1.0) unstable testing; urgency=low * *sigh* I mention an upcoming 1.0 release and everything goes to hell. I suppose its because I'm trying harder to find problems, but still... * It seems that I broke the progress-meter stuff when I implemented the bandwidth cap. Fixed. Also, the progress-meter stuff was broken because tv.tv_sec * 1000000 recently started overflowing a signed long, and came up negative. My very own Y2K+1 bug, I'm so proud. =) * Linux 2.4.0's /dev/urandom driver no longer guarantees that it will return the amount of random garbage that you request! This screwed up the testsuite, which was incorrectly assuming that /dev/urandom really did give us 200000 bytes, with dd. I replaced it with a pipe of cat through head, works fine now. * Oops, forgot to update testit/Makefile.am when I made the namechange. * fixed an overflow in the progress meter (it flipped and went negative) that was hit at around 45 megs/second.
