The standalone version broke anyway on kfreebsd: https://bugs.debian.org/766250 I see a couple of options here: 1. we provide our own, which would be a simply wrapper for `camcontrol eject $1`, which is FreeBSD-native 2. we try to port the util-linux version > $ ssh falla.debian.org > ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host We are working on that. DSA is aware: https://bugs.debian.org/787136 > Help is now needed to handle kfreebsd specific issues. It looks way more complex than I would expect, for a utility like this. It does much more than just eject a CD, and uses Linux (kernel)-specific CD, floppy and SCSI interfaces. I don't think upstream intended for it to be portable, and it might be painful and messy to try to make it so. As it seems `eject` isn't a POSIX-defined utility, shall we just let Linux provide its own version in util-linux, and kFreeBSD provide a simple camcontrol wrapper within freebsd-utils? (and correspondingly in util-linux-udeb and freebsd-utils-udeb too) Thanks, Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain ste...@pyro.eu.org
