I updated the web site for libeatmydata (woah!): http://flamingspork.com/projects/libeatmydata/ and the launchpad page: https://launchpad.net/libeatmydata to reflect this too.

New exciting things in the land of libeatmydata:

• sync_file_range is now wrapped (thanks to Phillip Susi)
• I now bundle the eatmydata helper script originally included in the debian packages
• the autotools foo builds on MacOS X
• I modified the eatmydata helper script to also do the right DYLD environment variables if it’s running on Darwin. i.e. the eatmydata helper script now runs on MacOS X too (well, it should – please test)
• libeatmydata should now work just about everywhere that can LD_PRELOAD. Patches welcome.

If anyone knows how to build a non-versioned shared libray using autotools… I’d love to hear it. libeatmydata is totally not something that needs soname versioning. I guess it’s harmless though.
