Details

Description:

The default device for eject is cdrom (/dev/cdrom), but latest udev no longer creates Arch specific CD symlinks.

1) Run "eject"
2) eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom'

This is the configure script option that is related:
--enable-default-device set default CD-ROM device [default=cdrom]

The default device should probably be /dev/sr0, otherwise the default device is only relevant to users that create their own symlinks.


Additional info:
* eject 2.1.5-5
* udev 171-1
This task depends upon

All rules for cdrom have been removed.

So you agree that the default device for [eject] should be changed?

@jnguyen: excellent point. I already emailed the eject author to ask about this, didn't occur to me that there would be a configure switch. He never replied, so hopefully he never received my email ;-)

I agree, it should be changed to /dev/sr0.
