--==_Exmh_915219238P Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, What's the status of the CAM/ATAPI integration? Is anyone thinking of = working on it? When last mentioned, it was mooted that some work needed to be done to = tidy things up. Since then, it's gone very quiet - specifically, I don't = seem to recall seeing any specifics about what needed to be cleaned up. Some time later (what it is now, 6 months?), it's not in the tree, and I = suspect that the happy ATAPI/CAM users are either applying patches = locally to keep using this useful functionality, or bemoaning the fact = that FreeBSD doesn't let them use cdrecord with ATAPI CD-Rs.... Whilst I appreciate the need for coding standards and good-quality code, = (and indeed this is a large part of my personal reasons for choosing = this OS), it seems to me that this has kind of slipped through the = cracks. I've been using the CAM/ATAPI patches on -STABLE for some time now, and = it Just Works - I've burned quite a lot of CD-R's and CD-RW's with my = internal laptop drive and the latest 'cdrecord' from ports, and neither = this nor anything else on the machine appears to suffer unduly. What I'd *really* like to see is for the CAM/ATAPI stuff to go into 4.7 = - it seems to me that people choose the OS for stability, performance = and, let's not forget, *features*, what you can actually /do/ with the = machine.
