Hi,
i added to merge_debian_isos the capability to burn the resulting
ISO 9660 filesystem directly to optical media and to write it directly
to storage device files. This removes the need for having substantial
free disk space beyond the capacity to store the original ISO images.
While burning

Hi,
Some good news, I tested:
1) Build my unofficial DVD set (17 DVDs), and merge them using the merge
script on my Debian machine.
2) Build my unofficial DLBD set (2 DLBDs), and merge them using the

3) Merge 2 DLBDs using the merge script under a Alpine
Hi,
i explored two ways to get a correct and complete md5sum.txt after
merging and sorting:
- Generating the whole md5sum.txt from the emerging ISO's file tree is
possible by help of xorriso, although there is no file tree yet where
all regular files of the ISO can be found for checksumming.

Well, not from scratch, because the paths would come from the merged

Not directly. But xorriso can load the meta-data of an ISO, manipulate
