Hi Lars,
actually, I've taken over maintainership for scsidev some months ago, as I
needed something simple for my always changing SCSI test environment.
Have a look at
http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/scsidev/
I'll have a look at your package. Maybe we can merge our efforts?
I did not do any automake/conf stuff, but redesigned the program almost from
scratch.
It does now first scan all sg devs and then knows for how many sd, sr and st
devs to look. It will even support removeable media this way ...
The latter can be still improved.
Thanks for your work,
