Name : libisofs
Product : Fedora EPEL 5
Version : 0.6.38
Release : 1.el5
URL :
http://libburnia-project.org/
Summary : Library to create ISO 9660 disk images
Description :
Libisofs is a library to create an ISO-9660 filesystem and supports
extensions like RockRidge or Joliet. It is also a full featured
ISO-9660 editor, allowing you to modify an ISO image or multisession
disc, including file addition or removal, change of file names and
attributes etc. It supports the extension AAIP which allows to store
ACLs and xattr in ISO-9660 filesystems as well. As it is linked with
zlib, it supports zisofs compression, too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This release mainly provides a new feature for ISO 9660 images on USB sticks.
Changes towards previous version 0.6.34:
* New API function iso_write_opts_set_part_offset() controls creation of an MBR with a
first partiton table entry that bears non-zero start address. A second set of volume
descriptors and directory tree+tables gets created which can be used to mount the image at
the partition start.
* Hiding all non-API symbols from the linker by use of --version-script
* Automatic C++ detection in libisofs.h by using macro __cplusplus
* Corrected several memory leaks and potential NULL pointer evaluations in case of memory
shortage.
This release can use libjte to produce jigdo files along with the ISO image. Further
filesystem images may be appended as MBR partitions 1 to 4. The capability was added to
produce boot blocks for computers with MIPS CPU.
Changes towards previous version 0.6.36:
* New API calls iso_write_opts_attach_jte() and iso_write_opts_detach_jte() allow to use
libjte for jigdo production.
* New API call iso_write_opts_set_tail_blocks() for tail padding inside ISO image.
* New API call iso_image_generator_is_running() to learn when the write thread is done.
* New API calls iso_image_add_mips_boot_file(), iso_image_get_mips_boot_files(),
iso_image_give_up_mips_boot().
* New API call iso_write_opts_set_partition_img() for appending e.g. a small empty FAT12
filesystem which may be used on USB stick.
