New abcde package: adds multiple-output, flac, normalize and batch support.
Hi. A new abcde package is available. The new package adds support for FLAC, Normalize, batch encoding and multiple-output support. Use at your own risk, since it is EXPERIMENTAL. Do not send your dogs/lawyers if it eats your HDD, puts your daddy on fire or decides to empty your back account. Grab the latest release from: http://www.hispalinux.es/~data/files/ Keep in mind that I will be upgrading the package regularly, so visit as often as you think there might be a new release ;) PLEASE: do NOT report bugs against the BTS. Report them to me, since this is not a (yet) official debian release.

There have been several discussions in the LKML, and being the postmaster of HispaLinux, the biggest Linux Association in Spain, I can say that RBLs are no good. RBLs are maintained by people who don't actually know who is a spammer and who is not, and trusting them for the decision of who you should accept and who you should reject is a broken thing from the very begining. My latest experience was the Helsinki University's computer department rejecting a mail sent to them from the Helsinki Univ. of Technology. When I sent a report from another domain (so it would not be rejected by the missconfigured or bogus RBL entry) it was rejected because of being tagged as spam by their spam filters. Spam is a bad thing, but rejecting legitimate mail using third party lists and rejecting (instead of tagging) spam with bogus spam tools is even worst.

The problem here might be the way the expression is scapped:
After the for, x is substituted by $alpha, so the echo $x shows the
content of $alpha. the curly braquets might take preference over the
variable substitution, so it is used as a one item list, $alpha.
Dunno if is POSIXly correct, but it works that way.
Try using:
alpha="a b c d e" with spaces and
for x in $alpha ; do
echo $x
done
Even trying with your idea and using the execution inverted
single-quotes (`) it is taken as a one-element list, with no comas.

cdrecord -scanbus examples, please.
Hi I am packaging a tool (phaser) to use cdrecord from the conseole. I want to show the user list of different scsi devices (through ide-scsi) to select the one for writer and one for reader. I would like to default the selection to the one which looks more likely to be a writer and the other cdrom (if exists) to the reader. Thus I would like some people to send me some "cdrecord -scanbus" outputs where they have grep'ed the writer and reader entries. As an example: 0,1,0 1) 'YAMAHA ' 'CDR400t ' '1.0q' Removable CD-ROM (I do not have the reader as ide-scsi..) TIA.
