NEW features of cdrtools-2.01.01a28:
--------->
******** WARNING! This is a release that introduces _massive_ changes
******** in mkisofs. These changes are not yet and cannot yet be complete
******** and are definitely not tested sufficiently already.
******** If you like to test the recent massive mkisofs enhencements, you
******** are welcome! If you lik a "stable" version, ise mkisofs from
******** Cdrtools-2.01.01a27
<--------
All:
- Support for SunStudio 12 on Linux was added.
Call "make CCOM=suncc", but note that you then
will not be able to compile Linux specific functions like
support for ext2 file flags. This does not work because the
related include files are not written in clean C.
Note that nearly all programs from cdrtools depend on libscg
which uses platform speficic code for every OS. As the Linux
kernel include files are not written in clean C, you cannot
compile libscg using Sun Studio. If someone from the Linux kernel
team would rewrite the Linux kernel include files to only use clean
C based constructs, cdrecord could be compiled with Sun Studio
compilers.
- Added a workaround to config.guess to get correct
platform names from "configure" even thogh suncc
does not #define __ELF__
- Linux specific autoconf tests are not only executed on Linux
based platforms
- Some make rule definitions for Cygwin restructured to allow
compilation with more Cygwin releases. The -D_WIN32_WINNT=
definitions are now only in effect if the selected compiler
is the Microsoft compiler.
- New include file schily/ioctl.h
- Added Support to create Blastwave SVr4 packages.
To create a Blastwave package, call:
.clean
smake -f Mcsw
You need the program "fakeroot" and will find the results
in packages/<arch-dir>
Note that this source tree will allow you to create the package
CSWcdrtools but not the packages CSWschilybase and CSWschilyutils
on which CSWcdrtools depends.
WARNING: libsiconv.a and it's character translation tables (located in
/opt/*/lib/siconv) are not part of CSWcdrtools but of CSWschilybase.
If you do not update CSWschilybase to include the character translation
tables used by libsiconv, mkisofs will not work correctly.
NOTE: the SVr4 package specific rules are approx. 10 lines of make
rules.
It should be simple to create rule definitions for other package systems
found on platforms other than Solaris. Volunteers who like to help
to deveop support for other packaging systems are welcome!
Libschily:
Libparanoia (Ported/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty [EMAIL
PROTECTED]):
- "make install" now also installs the READMEs and other docukmentation to
..../share/doc/libparanoia/
Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt [EMAIL
PROTECTED]):
Libfind:
Libfile:
Libhfs_iso:
Libsiconv:
- New library libsiconv replaces libunls.
Libsiconv saves ~ 130 kB of executable space in mkisofs and allows to
use
iconv() if it is present on the current polatform.
Libscg:
Rscsi:
- "make install" now also installs the READMEs and other docukmentation to
..../share/doc/rscsi/
Cdrecord:
- "make install" now also installs the READMEs and other docukmentation to
..../share/doc/cdrecord/
- New function verify() in high level code.
Cdda2wav (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt
[EMAIL PROTECTED]):
- "make install" now also installs the READMEs and other docukmentation to
..../share/doc/cdda2wav/
Readcd:
Scgcheck:
Scgskeleton:
- New merged code from the "sformat" and "cdrecord" consolidation.
- Bumped to version 1.2
Btcflash:
Mkisofs (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling since 1997, originated my Eric
Youngdale):
- "make install" now also installs the READMEs and other docukmentation to
..../share/doc/mkisofs/
- The change from libunls to libsiconv fixes a lot of bugs in the
character translation tables. libsiconv now uses the official tables
from Unicode.org. Any other "single char" -> UNICODE table from
Unicode.org may be taken unmodified and copied to
/opt/schily/lib/libsiconv
to become usable by libsiconv.
If you use the same character set names as with old mkisofs, you get
the character translations from the tables in /opt/schily/lib/libsiconv,
if you use ICONV based locale names and iconv() is available on your
platform, then mkisofs used iconv() to translate the character
encodings.
If you like to force to use the iconv() code, use something like:
mkisofs -input-charset iconv:8859-1
****** IMPORTANT ********
You need to install the table files from libsiconv to make mkisofs
behave correctly.
- Thanks to the new libsiconv, mkisofs now supports to run in a UTF-8
locale.
As long as no automatic locale support is present, call
mkisofs -input-charset UTF-8
- Completed the Symlink implementation for UDF. The code was 20% ready
from Helios.de from the includes from the Helios variant of mkisofs.
- New option -no-udfsymlinks to turn off support for UDF symlinks.
The UDF standards requires any OS to implement symlink support, but
you never know...
- New option -UDF implements non-anonymous UDF support.
The relation between -UDF vs. -udf is the same as with -R vs. -r
- Integrated a larger code drop from Helios.de, thanks to Helmut
Tschemernjak
from helios.de. We did integrate the following new features from
Helios.de:
- Support for UID/GID in the UDF file meta data
- Support for permissions in the UDF file meta data
- Support for Mac OS X "/..namedfork/rsrc"
- Avoid Mac OS X syslog entries when "/rsrc" is used.
- Support for UDF based Mac OS extensions (type/creator and
resource forks).
- New option -no-hfs allows to turn off creating a ISO9660/HFS
hybrid
when UDF based Mac OS extensions are used.
- Do not chache resorce fork files in the inode cache anymore.
We did not include the following code from the Helios.de code drop:
- Helios UNICODE unification (always tries to create "complete"
characters if e.g. a 'ö' is written as 'o'+'"', this is
translated
into a 'ö'.
The reason for not integrating this code is that it did violate
constraints from mkisofs. The translation was done based on
UTF-8
regardless of the current locale of the user. It could only work
in a UTF-8 based locale but mkisofs did not yet support UTF-8 an
based locale. The correct implementation would be in most cases
based on UCS-2 characters as used by Joliet and UDF.
- Helios code that did prevent mkisofs to abort on certain kind
of
read errors.
The reason for not integrating this code is that it did not work
as expected for all possible cases and that such code should use
a similar mechanism as "star"s error control feature.
- The Helios option -nolimit-pathtables has not been included as
the
implementation did cause the PATH table to contain random data
in
case that a PATH table overflow was allowed.
- The Helios code drop did modify the libfind callback function to
implement Mac OS extensions. This is not correct as all the Mac
OS
related stuff should already in the functions that are called
by the unmodified libfind callback.
Another problem with this code is that it would introduce an
otherwise non-existent path length limitation with "mkisofs
-find "
- Helios did remove the artificial limit for UDF files > 2 GB.
This is currently not done for consistency between ISO-9660 and
UDF. Mkisofs will implement multi-extent files soon and then
the UDF file size limitation will be removed.
HELIOS TODO:
- Add better code for ignoring errors. This should be done
using star's error control module, see star/checkerr.c
- Add some code that allows to write media with more than 65535
parent directories, even if this violates ISO-9660 and prevents
DOS from being able to read the resulting FS. This needs to be
done in a way that causes all "overflowing" directories to get
a definitive pointer instead of random values.
- Add the HELIOS UNICODE mapping code. This needs to be done
at UCS-2 level for Joliet and UDF (instead of UTF-8) and only
for Rock Ridge (in case of a UTF-8 based target locale) using
UTF-8 based translations.
- Make the Apple extensions work again with "mkisofs -find"
TODO:
- Support correct inode numbers for UDF hardlinks
- Support sockets, pipes, char/blk-dev specials with UDF
- read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL
or RR is present. I am looking for a volunteer for this task!
Note that this can never be 100% correct as there is no relation
between the names on the master (UNIX) filesystem, the ISO-9660
names and the Joliet names. Only the Rock Ridge names are
untranslated with respect to the original files on the
master (UNIX) filesystem.
- add libecc/edc for CDI and similar.
