Aquileo | reedsolomon.h:136: pointless call to empty ?

Sun, 14 Sep 2014 14:52:54 -0000

[reedsolomon.h:136]: (warning) Ineffective call of function 'empty()'. Did you intend to call 'clear()' instead?

Aquileo | snprintf failures ignored

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 21:26:00 -0000

When snprintf does not output its entire string because 'n' has been reached, the code continues like nothing has gone wrong. This usually results in the code getting caught in a loop attempting to rename a file (it attempts to append 2, gets the same string back because it was truncated, attempts to append 3, gets the same string back...). There are likely many better fixes than the one I've attached (it also bumps the max length to match what linux uses internally, this is completely for my own benefit, and can be removed)

Aquileo | manual unreadable

Sat, 08 May 2010 14:50:32 -0000

I had to discover how par2 works by running it in different contexts. Please add the following to the manual under the title DESCRIPTION, after you check my suppositions. Please remember that a newcomer who reads the manual does not know par2 in advance.

par2 protects data files by creating recovery files with .par2 extensions. It divides the data files into blocks and it creates recovery blocks saved in the recovery files. All blocks have equal sizes. The required and reported size and number of blocks are rigorously respected. Recovery blocks are ordered and you can generate any sequence of them. Their required and reported number and size are also rigorously respected. The recovery files also contain info about the data files' names and sizes. The recovery files with voln+m in their name memorize the recovery blocks n+1 to n+m. The recovery file without voln+m in its name verifies the integrity of the data files and contains no recovery blocks. The required number of recovery files is rigorously respected, but the required size of recovery files is not, probably because of the uneven number of recovery blocks. The size of recovery files is much larger than that of the recovery blocks they contain.

par2 c file - protect file, with file*.par2 as recovery files
par2 c file files - protect files, with file*.par2 as recovery files. If file ends in .par2, .par2 is removed. par2 overwrites old file*.par2 files without warning.
par2 v|r file [files] - verify / try to recover data files protected by file*.par2, fn.volp+q.par2 if file is fn.volm+n and fn.par2 if fn is in files and fn is not data file. files is a list of recovery files not identified by file and of data files which do not have their original names. If file or not data files end in .par2, .par2 is removed. files should be used in case that file*.par2's and data files' names have been corrupted. par2 is able to recover data files with data added to and deleted from any part of them. par2 is able to recover data files which have been split into separate files. par2 does not report missing file*.par2 recovery files, it reports only available recovery blocks.

These should complete OPTIONS:

-b<n> sets the number of blocks in which data files are split
-u requires equal recovery file sizes
-u is respected with approximation
-r<n> requires a level of redundancy of n% of the data files sizes. It is 5% by default.
-n<n> requires exactly n recovery files, file.par2 not included

Aquileo | make par2cmdline failed

Sat, 01 May 2010 18:28:05 -0000

Hello,

in a second attempt, I tried to compile the cvs-source for par2-cmdline, again on KDE 4.3.5, x86_64-suse-linux,
gcc version 4.4.1 [gcc-4_4-branch revision 150839] (SUSE Linux),

The compiler aborted with:

Aquileo | Cannot Resize Window on Ubuntu

Sat, 24 Apr 2010 19:51:07 -0000

It is not possible for me to resize the window. I use a bigger font than the default system font and I lose info on interface. If I try to resize the interface window size, no success. I set my desktop to 1080 and I use a font 16 size.

Aquileo | Fails/freezes when working with large files

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:38:42 -0000

When I tried to create a par2 file set for a 2.7GB data file, par2cmdline failed and gave a reason with nonsense numbers. In another test, I successfully created a par2 file set for the 2.7GB file divided into three 1GB partial files. When I tried to recreate the partial files using the original 2.7GB file as the source, par2cmdline froze after displaying "Scanning extra files:" and consumed all CPU time until I killed the process.

This problem was experienced in par2cmdline version 0.4 in 32-bit Windows XP SP3 using simple command line parameters (no advanced parameters such as block size, par2 file count, etc.).

Aquileo | libpar cannot find sigc libs anywhere, fails to install.

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 19:46:32 -0000

I installed the libsigc RPM, and then the Gpar RPM. However, although gpar "installs" it does not work, and says it cannot find the libsig object files. After I make a symlink from my lib64 dir to the lib dir where the files are installed, it complains about libgtkmm-2.4.so.1. I tried installing this RPM as well, but it also produces problems.

When I tried installing everything from scratch (Centos5, 64bit AMD), libpar cannot find the libsig files (which I installed form scratch). I tried using the flags to specify where they are. This also does not help.
