Hi,

New release of the packet writing module for ATAPI and SCSI CD-RW
units. Get it here:

ftp://ftp.*.kernel.org/pub/linux/people/axboe/packet/packet-0.0.1l-2.3.99-pre3-8.tar.bz2

The diff is currently against 2.3.99-pre3-8. Important changes in
this release:

        - Fix nasty bug where multiple writes would not get stored
          in the correct order when requeued
        - Fix SCSI segment miscount. SCSI has too many rules that
          pktcdvd should not know about, so let it recount
        - Elevator nr_segment better, but not perfect. Minor
          problem
        - Fixed sr as builtin bug, thanks to Arnd Bergmann <arnd@itreff.de>
        - New PACKET_READONLY flag to catch writes on ro media,
          originally because of UDF problem
        - Made pkt_recheck_segments standard
        - Made pkt_queue_request "nicer" wrt elevator
        - Try to detect cases where we are loosing performance
          on duplicated writes. Hasn't caught anything yet...
        - Update udf-0.9.1 to be aware of CDROM_SEND_PACKET changes
        - Ported to pre-2.3.99-pre3-8
