Re: [Bug-xorriso] strange ".." and "." directory entries on hybrid images

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

i have to correct myself:
libisofs-1.1.0-1 is currently in Debian "unstable", not in "testing".


For own local tests without influencing installed libraries
i would advise the statically linked all-in-one package
  http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/xorriso/xorriso-1.1.0.pl01.tar.gz 

After
  tar xzf xorriso-1.1.0.pl01.tar.gz
  cd orriso-1.1.0
  ./configure && make 
you may add a new directory tree without annoying NM to an
existing isohybrid image.
E.g. to $HOME/debian-6.0.0-amd64-businesscard.iso :
  
  xorriso/xorriso \
     -boot_image isolinux keep \
     -dev $HOME/debian-6.0.0-amd64-businesscard.iso \
     -alter_date a +0 / --

It grew by 2 MB. Two new directory trees of ~ 500 files.
One for /dev/sdc and /dev/cdrom, the other for /dev/sdc1.

Still boots from USB stick and CD.
/sbin/fdisk -lu  likes it better than the original.
(Because it is now cylinder aligned.)
isoinfo shows '.' and '..' on CD, USB stick, USB stick partition 1.


Have a nice day :)
