The threads on ML : eagleusb-dev release 2.0.0rc1 and the whole list

#20041010_01 O some Oops : see #636 on gna and test with 2.0.0rc1 original report
#20041010_02 : C : compilation for kernel-2.4.x : missing #ifdef LINUX_2_6 (easy to correct)
#20041010_03 : C : option --enable-cmvs (requirement for Sagem) not suficiently tested
#20041010_04 : O : OPTNxx with xx>15 not (yet) taken into account, hence messages "Unknown option on line xx" (should be easy to correct) or at least modify message to "eaglectrl : Unknown option
#20041014_05 : C : CMV file /etc/eagle-usb/CMVep.txt does not exist - installed 20041029 (still missing uninstall though)
#20041014_06 : O : Now if we create the CMVep.txt manually in /etc/eagle-usb directory, we have to make sure that there is no extra character in the lines e.g. no blank ). I think there is a bug in eaglectrl.c file ( it cannot handle extra blanks in each line)
#20041014_07 : O : After creating a file that eaglectrl likes and again run the command “eaglectrl -d” the following error is reported: "Unable to send CMVs to driver: Inappropriate ioctl for device"
#20041028_08 : C : (not a bug, it's a feature) warning "[eagle-usb] ioctl EU_IO_CMVS received and treated." when --enable-cmvs is used, the CMVs files are read every times but only used when linetype=0000000A (10 decimal)
#20041028_09 : C : warning: 'packed' attribute ignored at compilation - done

Before creating release, here are bugs available on gna

complete list : https://gna.org/bugs/?group=eagleusb
#270 : minor : "pilot" : cannot be reproduced, seems solved ? only happened with usb-uhci ?
#275 : minor : "SM: LOS Defect" : not reproduced with Fast 800 E3 ;-) (so far...)
#287 : minor : "ping_w TestConnec?" : corrected ?
#317 : minor : "make uninstall on 2.6.4" : corrected ? seems obsolete :-)
#579 : minor : "V1.9.8 kernel 2.4.26 module usage count at 2" : corrected ? seems to be closed
#636 : major : "Oops with kernel SMP 2.6.7 / 2.6.8.1" : no suficient feedback

I'll put OK when to be done, and DONE when done...

check CMVs compile : USE_CMV=1 make DONE
update eagle-usb.conf for OPTNxx values DONE
change directories for some files (FHS conformance) : compulsory ??? old names => new names / path necessary (eu_config_bash...)
patch for rpm from PatriceDumas : later (there seems to remain some things to update and agree...)

erase man8/startmire and erase utils/scripts/startmire (already done in Makefile) done
"error : your directory should not contain spaces" if the user tries to install from a directory containing spaces done
don't display the whole ISP list at once (use pages)
remove modem MAC address from /etc/iftab done
? (or baud123) remove eagle-usb.conf.template => eagle-usb.conf is erased at each make install (and saved if it existed...) eagleconfig is compulsory after make install => see what happens with rpm (eagle-usb.conf should be kept, unless its content is "new", perhaps use .rpmnew + etc-update ?) done

GEsp suggestions
include latest BNM and use CMV files once user-friendly configuration found
patch for rpm from PatriceDumas
improve Makefile: use “dist” target to build tarball, factorize code between “deb”, “rpm” and “dist” targets
change directories for some files (FHS conformance) update DeveloppementPackaging before
START_ONPLUG eagleconfig_bash
corrections for eagleconnect (commited, not yet tested)
move uninstOld to root directory?
use readConf to simplify setvars done
test CMV files to update them, possibly with latest bnm if backward compatibily is confirmed by ADI / Sagem
make uninstall_complete (ou un bidule comme ça)
