I don't know of a git / cvs repo. But you can pull down a tarball for any of the releases.
Yes, I know that. But when looking for one particular change, the VCS is much more useful. I'll ask hdparm author.
=== As to patching vs. a new release:
I strongly suspect many SSDs don't work with the TRIM feature of hdparm 9.22 and 9.28 releases, but due to very limited testing, we don't have bugzillas to show it.
But that also means that not many users care about TRIM, right? :)
--- I haven't read thru the release notes / changes for each release, but I think you'll find that the only part of hdparm that has been getting updates in the last couple years is the SSD TRIM handling feature which was new a couple years ago or less.
hdparm-9.30
- report word[105] in -I : max 512-byte blocks of range-data per DSM/Trim
command
- fix wiper.sh/hdparm to use only as many LBA ranges per TRIM as the drive can
handle
- manpage / help-text cleanups from Benno Schulenberg
So if you feel it is warranted, you can compare the source and only patch in the code changes relevant to TRIM, but my guess is that will be all the changes. Thus if I were doing it, I'd just do a full update.
What about this: I'll try to extract the required change from the diff between 9.28 and 9.30 and apply it to hdparm-9.28 in 11.3 - would you be able to test if it works? If it does, we can try to patch also hdparm in 11.2, if not, we will ask maintenance team about full update (CC:ing now). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
