Announcing xorriso-0.4.2.pl02 (2nd try)

["Thomas Schmitt" <scdbackup@gmx.net>]

Hi,

sorry for sending the wrong announcement test.

This is the one for xorriso:

be invited to install the patch release 0.4.2.pl02 of
my program xorriso, an ISO 9660 Rock Ridge filesystem
manipulator.

It creates, loads, manipulates and writes ISO 9660
filesystem images with Rock Ridge extensions. Optionally
it supports hard links, ACLs, xattr, and MD5 checksums.
xorriso can load the management information of existing
ISO images and it writes the session results to optical
media or to filesystem objects.
Vice versa xorriso is able to restore file objects from
ISO 9660 filesystems.

A special property of xorriso is that it needs neither
an external ISO 9660 formatter program nor an external
burn program for CD, DVD or BD but rather incorporates
the libraries of libburnia-project.org .

Novelties:

* Bug fix: When adding a new session to an ISO image
  it could happen that Rock Ridge filenames lost blanks.
  With names shorter than 251 characters this happened
  only to trailing blanks.
  Single session images are not affected.
  Incremental backups kept themselves correct in each
  new update session - at the expense of media space.

* Bug fix: Option -for_backup did not enable -xattr and
  -md5 if no drive was chosen yet.

* Bug fix: xorrisofs -help and xorrecord -help printed
  the help text of genuine xorriso rather than the
  help texts of the mkisofs and cdrecord emulation.


System requirements:
- Linux   : kernel 2.4 or 2.6, libc, libpthread
- FreeBSD : libc, libpthread, ATAPI/CAM enabled, see atapicam(4)
- on other X/Open systems there will be no direct operation of
  CD/DVD/BD drives, but only POSIX i/o which may or may not
  be offered by the system for DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, or BD-RE.

Optional:
  libreadline + libreadline-dev
  zlib + zlib-devel
  on Linux: libacl + libacl-devel
If they were present at compile time, then the optional libraries have to 
be present at runtime, too.

Download:

There is a xorriso standalone release tarball
containing the application and all three
libburnia libraries needed:
  http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/xorriso-0.4.2.pl02.tar.gz

scdbackup.sourceforge.net is mirrored at scdbackup.webframe.org .


xorriso is also part of the libisoburn release tarball:
  http://files.libburnia-project.org/releases/libisoburn-0.4.2.pl02.tar.gz
For the most important bug fix in this announcement
you would need the new libisofs release:
  http://files.libburnia-project.org/releases/libisofs-0.6.24.tar.gz

libisoburn.so.1 and its xorriso need recent release
versions of libburn.so.4 and libisofs.so.6.
The xorriso standalone release does not depend on any
of these dynamic libraries.

Post bug reports or requests to one of these mailing lists:
  mailto:libburn-hackers@pykix.org
  mailto:cdwrite@other.debian.org
or directly to me:
  mailto:scdbackup@gmx.net


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
