Noa Resare commented on CLOUDSTACK-792:
---------------------------------------
Rohit: Ok, that response was a bit unclear. Let me try and rephrase it in a bit
more verbose and hopefully clearer form:
Your first assertion is false for the case of Ubuntu 1204 LTS, where "mkisofs"
is a convenience alias for "genisoimage". The functionality is literally
identical. Could you elaborate on the issues you ran into with devcloud2?
Perhaps there is some other reason why you ran into problems with the specific
version of genisoimage that you attempted to use.
For the record, we (Spotify infrastructure engineering) have successfully used
the patch to build and install cloudstack 4.0 on Debian Squeeze in production;
if there are any problems with genisoimage as invoked by maven as part of the
package build on those are not blockers for any major cloudstack functionality.
Also your statement "I raised the issue on RB that mkisofs!=genisoimage for
Debian" also does not make much sense, if you interpret "for Debian" as "as
shipped in Debian distributions". The entire premise of the issue as raised
here is that the Debian project will not ship a tool named "mkisofs" for
license and (presumably) trade mark infringement reasons.
> make maven use mkisofs or genisoimage depending on what is available

> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Reporter: Noa Resare
> Priority: Minor
>
> Due to differing licensing philosophies between the Debian project and the
> mkisofs maintainer the tool will probably never be shipped as part of Debian.
> There is a tool named genisoimage that is command line parameter compatible
> with mkisofs and does the same thing.
> It would be useful to have maven pick this difference up and handle both
> cases.
