I've finished version 1.2 of JTE. See http://www.einval.com/~steve/software/JTE/ for more details. For the benefit of people other than on -cd, this is a patch that will allow us to generate .jigdo and .template files directly using mkisofs rather than having to spend LOTS of CPU to convert ISO images. The main new feature in this version is boot support for alpha, hppa, mips and mipsel. At the moment, producing bootable CDs for one of these platforms means that you have to run a separate program to modify the ISO image after you've created it. I've merged code from these programs (isomarkboot, palo, isogenvh and delo) into mkisofs and it will now produce (what appear to be) fully working images in a single step. I can't test the images, but they are identical to the output of those helper programs. Please help test - I don't have hardware for all of those architectures! Mkisofs maintainer(s): please could you look at this patch and apply it in the Debian package. I appreciate that sending this upstream to Joerg will be awkward, so I'm quite happy to update the patch long-term if necessary. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. steve@einval.com We don't need no education.
