Package: gentoo Version: 0.11.55-1.1 Severity: wishlist
New version of gentoo is available from http://www.obsession.se/gentoo/ Version 0.11.56 Released 2006-08-25. Changelog: 0.11.56 * Fixed buglet that caused copying of protection bits to always be a fatal error, regardless of the "Ignore Failure to Copy Attributes" option setting. * Fixed a silly case of errno "leaking" out of the window title setting code (which needs to mess with NLS). This had gentoo break totally (couldn't even copy files) on Ubuntu. Big thanks to M. Williams for letting me ssh and vnc to his Ubuntu box so I could hunt this one down. * Rewrote core of regular file copying function. It seems when writing to a Samba-mounted (network) share, write() doesn't like large buffer sizes. So we loop to empty the buffer of read data, doing as many writes() per read() as is necessary. Odd. * Fixed bug that made it impossible to use RenameSeq on volumes using a VFAT filesystem. This was due to the use of invalid characters in temporary filenames. * Made RenameSeq's start value settable through a spinbutton in the dialog, rather than a plain entry. Faster small changes. * Added a new page to the RenameRE dialog, 'Map', which does simple character mappings on filenames. Also supports removing a set of character (think 'tr', applied twice). * Added information about missing options (--locale-info, --run) to the manual page. -- Pavel 'Blaze' Vinogradov Beginner Linux Developer
