Hi everybody,

I made a new version of the linux dump/restore suite, mostly bug fixes
and several new options such as automatic end-of-tape detection.

I was unable to contact Rémy Card (the maintainer); he did not respond
to any of my mails. After several months, I decided to release it, and
to promote myself as the new maintainer :)

Here is the ChangeLog:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.Integrated the changes from FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE
  (mostly bug fixes, buffer overruns, dump has now an "automatic
  tape length calculation" flag, dump/restore can use kerberos now
  (this is NOT tested), use environment variables for TAPE and
  RMT etc.).
 
2.Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches)
 
3.Corrected a bug in restore when using 'C' option with multi-volumes
  tapes (files splited accros two tapes give "size changed" errors
  when comparing).
 
4.Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes.
  This works for me, needs further testing.                               
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The new version should be visible soon on tsx11, meanwhile you can get
it on my web page: http://perso.cybercable.fr/pop

Happy dumping!

Stelian.
