My point was not about that particular isomaster edition (and it wasn't about that in that other topic either), so maybe I should had skipped that part of the post here.
Please notify Pat Volkerding that the mkisofs he's providing is not OK.
The important point about mkisofs 3.01a08 is that it solves an incompatibility with the basic standard (ECMA119) that was introduced in 3.01a05, and such ISO images can't be handled correctly by (popular) tools that strictly respect the standard. (Note: To be clear,
I already know how to solve the problem manually. This request is not "for me".)
Since Slackware 14.0 RC2 is already out (and
mostly in freeze), I was hoping that you (Salix Team members), with your experience and knowledge, would already know how to report this to Pat Volkerding in an
effective and convincing manner, before 14.0 final. If you (Salix Team members) don't think that you have an advantage in this case (in comparison to me), then maybe someone can take the time to suggest how to contact Pat (I really have no idea) "in an
effective and convincing manner, before 14.0 final"
.
TIA.
