Dirk, Arttu,
Sorry for the late reply. I was out for the weekend.
I've tested splitpipe with DVDs on stable amd64 only. I had no
problems. Later today I'll give the improved ebuild a try.
Currently I have several blank DVDs only, so I can't send any CD burning
results.
I have some questions:
Dirk:
- can you post the compile error, please?
Arttu:
- Can you, please, post the command you used to make the test backups?
- Did you try splitpipe on DVDs or on CDs only?
Dirk, Arttu:
- Should we get off-list on this subject or at least open a new
thread?
