[Bug-ddrescue] System Rescue CD uses obsolete version of ddrescue

[Shahrukh Merchant]

Hello,

I use ddrescue exclusively from the System Rescue CD environment. The 
latest System Rescue CD build of 2018-04-02 (see 
http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/Download/) still uses ddrescue-1.21-r1 
(see http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/Detailed-packages-list/), even 
though 1.23 has been available since 2018-02-19.

Two questions:

1. Antonio, would it be effective if you contacted the System Rescue CD 
people to get them to incorporate updating to the latest ddrescue 
version as part of their release procedure?

2. What is the easiest way to "slipstream" in the latest ddrescue into 
an .iso file of System Rescue CD, so that when I create a burn a CD from 
that ISO file I basically get the same result? (I'm Windows 7 64-bit 
based, so other than when I boot into System Rescue CD to run ddrescue, 
I don't really have make capabilities to compile, nor I am really sure 
how to do so in a way that would work in the System Rescue CD 
environment, so would need to be able to slipstream a pre-compiled 
version compatible with the System Rescue CD environment.)

Thanks!
