Hello! The recently uploaded version 540.1.linux3-1 of hfsprogs no longer supports creating legacy HFS filesystems as the "-h" flag is no longer supported for mk.hfs. Looking at the source code, for 332.25 [1] and 540.1.linux3 [2], it looks like we would need to add back the handling of the "-h" flag for getopts(), the variable forceHFS and the function hfs_params() as well as the handling of legacy HFS in hfs_newfs(). In makehfs.c [3], we would need to re-add make_fs() as well as WriteSystemFile() and WriteReadMeFile() as well as the files hfsbootdata.img and readme.h. It's not clear yet how feasible that is, but if everything fails, there is still hfsutils available for creating legacy HFS filesystems.
