So the end result is: With unpatched mkisofs, all attempts to burn (in Nautilus CD Burner) a CD with non-ASCII filenames fail (either because Nautilus CD burner treats a filename as UTF-8 and complains about invalid UTF-8 sequence, or because mkisofs fails due to -input-charset utf-8). With patched mkisofs, such attempts work only in UTF-8 locales (because of the above-mentioned mis-treating). So the warning is: "This program can successfully create a CD with non-ASCII characters in filenames only if you use UTF-8 based locale. Users of other locales should consider an alternative, e.g., running mkisofs by hand".
Fellow editors, I'm really strapped for time this week, but I would like to see the fixes for cdrtools get into the book. I was hoping someone could pick up the slack if you have time. The two patches are in the repo: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/cdrtools/cdrtools-2.01-mkisofs_iconv-1.patch http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/cdrtools/cdrtools-2.01-ascii-1.patch The first one is described above by Alexander. The second one is described at the top of the Wiki entry Alexander wrote: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/Cdrtools The bug is here: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/1837 A discussion was had where it was determined that we wouldn't be breaking the licensing and to go ahead and use the 2nd patch. I was thinking to make these Optional Patches with a Note box explaining the mkisofs situation and how it will manifest later with some GUI burners such as Nautilus CD Burner. Any volunteers? If not this might have to wait until this weekend. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
