Title:
Chris Bainbridge comment is irrelevant, he does not seem to know the
legal facts.
The creation if the fork cdrkit (wodim, genisoimage, et. al.) is a result
of a social
attack from a Debian packetizer against the cdrtools project. The person who
started this
attack never has been interested in

the real mkisofs
Ubuntu has a command utility called mkisofs, but due to your feedback I now
realise it is a link to genisoimage
$mkisofs -v

Schily, I really expected that. But the bug report is a bug report
against the Ubuntu distribution.
So taking that context into consideration, the summary means The
command line utility called mkisofs in ubuntu has no manpage, so fixing
