The reason lies back in 2008, when the first packager preferred the 2-in-1 source tarball, with the reasoning that this worked well with cdrskin in the libburn tarball. Because of the difficulty to install .so without breaking the local package management, i always had a xorriso-standalone tarball, which in 2010 became GNU xorriso. Distros which use both, libisoburn and xorriso tarballs, most probably have a duplication. Who installs libisoburn should also install its xorriso binary. The size difference is substantial. But as soon as the user needs a newer xorriso than provided by the distro, it is time for GNU xorriso from source. It does not need installation to places like /usr/bin, but can be run at the place were it was built. Therefore grub-mkrescue has an option --xorriso= by which one can use such a built but not installed xorriso. Both xorrisos get composed from the same sources. If linked with the same set of optional libraries (like zlib) they are supposed to behave identically. Have a nice day :) Thomas ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [email protected] with a subject of: unsubscribe t2
