Bug#234894: ITP: genisovh -- Make CD-ROMs bootable for SGI MIPS machines
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : genisovh
Version : 0.1
Upstream Author : Florian Lohoff <flo@rfc822.org>
* URL : http://silicon-verl.de/home/flo/software/
* License : GNU GPL-2
Description : Make CD-ROMs bootable for SGI MIPS machines
Genisovh creates a Disk Volume Header (dvh) on a CD image and records
bootable images therein. This allows the SGI firmware to boot those
images without needing knowledge about the filesystem on the CD image.
The upstream source doesn't mention any License, I contacted the Author
(who is a DD), he allows distribution under the terms of GNU GPL, Version 2.
The package is avaliable at
http://www.csv.ica.uni-stuttgart.de/homes/ths/debian-builds/genisovh/
I'm not a DD yet, so I need a sponsor for this package. Note that this
package is required for debian-installer in order to create bootable
CDs for all currently supported machines of the mips architecture.
