No genisoimage

[Shador]

Testing whether it's possible to create a bootable ISO with GRUB2, I used a grub utility called grub-mkrescue, which needs genisoimage.
But, as far as I could find out, on Salix there's only a cdrtools package with mkisofs. Investigating a bit, I found out that this problem is overcome on ZW by symlinking genisoimage to mkisofs.
I immediately tried that solution and instructed my script to symlink genisoimage to mkisofs and it worked without a single problem.

So I suggest to overcome this problem we add those symlinks to cdrtools, provide cdrkit or provide cdrkit as package symlinking to cdrtools' executables.
I found out that cdrkit is a fork of cdrtools, which replaced mkisofs by genisoimage and according to wikipedia maintains interface compatibility at least for the near future.

Yes, we could probably replace cdrtools with cdrkit...

Hmm... we also have libburn in the repo. Can you check if a cdrskin->genisoimage symlink works too?

Does libburn provide a command line burning tool?

[gapan]

Yes. There is cdrskin in libburn and xorriso in libisoburn.

And the command line options are compatible to cdrecord?

That's what its description says.
