See http://www.marko.anastasov.name/blog/2008/01/28/usbsink-development-halted/

This release fixes the compile error that has been reported on 32-bit systems.

As summer turns into autumn, a new release of USBSink enables the program to run at desktop startup, brings some important fixes, support for drives on SCSI and more. See the NEWS file for a complete list.

As of today the project uses Subversion for version control.

Veit Wahlich has created source RPMs for all Red Hat-based distros and Fedora Core 6 x86_64 RPMs. They are located at

http://naturidentisch.de/packages/fc6/usbsink/

You can build binary RPMs suitable for your distribution and CPU target by executing:

rpmbuild --rebuild usbsink-{latest-version}.cru.src.rpm

This follow-up to the major 0.3.0 release features some small but important changes. They include drive detection, GUI safety, first user-submitted translation, and a build script fix. So go get it, read the NEWS file for details, and enjoy while the bytes run free.

João Pinto, of GetDeb.net, has created a .deb package for Ubuntu. You can get it at http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=usbsink .

Download the source, read NEWS and use it, test it, spread the word. I hope you enjoy it.
