Hi, yesterday i tried to contact pascal.bleser@opensuse.org whom i assume to be the maintainer of the xorriso package https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=xorriso&project=Archiving%3ABackup but got blocked out by blacklister www.openspf.org who is bviously at odds with my mail provider. Could the build service community please help to bring the following mail to Pascal's attention ? ------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Jun 2010 16:48:03 +0200 From: Thomas Schmitt To: Subject: openSUSE package xorriso with zlib, ACL, xattr Hi, thanks for covering GNU xorriso. I see on https://build.opensuse.org/package/rawlog?arch=x86_64&package=xorriso&project=Archiving%3ABackup&repository=openSUSE_11.2 that the development stuff for zlib, ACL and xattr is not installed at build time: ... checking sys/acl.h usability... no checking sys/acl.h presence... no checking for sys/acl.h... no checking attr/xattr.h usability... no checking attr/xattr.h presence... no checking for attr/xattr.h... no checking zlib.h usability... no checking zlib.h presence... no checking for zlib.h... no ... This restricts xorriso's backup capabilities. Run time libraries are supposed to be libacl and libz. I see before the configure run: ... installing zlib-1.2.3-140.2 ... installing libacl-2.2.48-2.2 ... So it seems to be a matter of development header packages missing. I developed according to man 2 getxattr man 3 acl_get_file /usr/include/zlib.h If ACL and xattr features are available, then xorriso can record them, produce output as of getfacl and getfattr, and extract files with ACL and xattr from ISO to disk. If zlib is available, then file content can be compressed on-the-fly to gzip format or to zisofs format. The latter is readable by Linux kernels and gets uncompressed transparently (if CONFIG_ZISOFS is defined). ------------------------------------------------ Further i see that xorriso is also built and installed by the package "libburnia" https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=libburnia&project=X11%3Axfce Is this intersection intentional ? xorriso from libburnia and GNU xorriso are functionally identical. Only linking and license differ. Package libburnia is about 3 revisions behind, currently. Released are libburn-0.8.2 libisofs-0.6.32 libisoburn-0.5.8 (which contains xorriso) GNU xorriso-0.5.8 consists of 0.8.3, 0.6.33, and 0.5.8. The same lack of zlib, ACL, and xattr can be observed in https://build.opensuse.org/package/rawlog?arch=x86_64&package=libburnia&project=X11%3Axfce&repository=openSUSE_11.2 where i also see /bin/sh ./libtool --silent --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c 'xorriso/xorriso' '/tmp/tmp.z6FNs65lXb/usr/bin/xorriso' libtool: install: warning: `libisoburn/libisoburn.la' has not been installed in `/usr/lib64' So possibly the installed xorriso will not start ? Will it nevertheless overwrite GNU xorriso ? ------------------------------------------------ I checked the compiler warnings about GNU xorriso 0.5.8. Hopefully they are silenced now for the next release. They are all harmless. I.e. the ignorance for return values is intended because there is no fallback action anyway.
