If you found real problems, it would help a lot if we could discuss things in a
way that allows us to forward.
The problem with your reports is that you mix several problems into one report
and that you only partially describe the problems in a way that allows to repeat
them. You also send cumulated patches that include changes that itself introduce
bugs. This is why I could only fix about three problems from the list you send
half a year ago.
I am going to fix all problems that can be verified, but I am not going to
apply patches if I see a single problem in a provided patch. I am adopting
patches only if they do not introduce obvious new problems and in case that some
basic tests pass with the new code.
As ISO-9660 allows to introduce many dirty tricks, many of them are unsupported
by mkisofs, so please reorder your list to let #2 appear last.
For the reasons mentioned above, I propose that you present each item in your
list separately together with a description that allows to repeat the problem.
If you have a fix that is specific to this problem, you are of course welcome to
present your fix.
