Gratien Dhaese, as far as I understand what Jörg Schiling means is that Relax-and-Recover should not call the tool genisoimage but call mkisofs instead. Gratien Dhaese, is there a reason why Relax-and-Recover calls genisoimage and not mkisofs? I like to find out who at openSUSE is the maintainer of the genisoimage RPM binary package: $ rpm -qi genisoimage | grep 'Source RPM' Source RPM : wodim-1.1.11-10.1.1.src.rpm $ osc develproject openSUSE:Factory wodim multimedia:apps $ osc maintainer multimedia:apps wodim bugowner of multimedia:apps : - maintainer of multimedia:apps : WernerFink, bigironman, cyberiad, dirkmueller, duwe, jjolly, jnweiger, lmuelle, mhopf, mseben, msmeissn, pbleser, plater, prusnak, psmt, saschpe, seife, tiwai When "osc maintainer" lists only the project maintainers, there is no defined package maintainer. Therefore I check who had recently worked on the source RPM of the genisoimage RPM binary package: $ osc cat multimedia:apps wodim wodim.changes | grep @ | head expanding link...

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811636 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811636#c3 --- Comment #3 from Gratien Dhaese <gratien.dhaese@it3.be> 2013-11-07 13:23:02 UTC --- The code using this feature in REAR is /output/ISO/Linux-i386/82_create_iso_image.sh: EFIBOOT="-eltorito-alt-boot -e boot/efiboot.img -no-emul-boot" Log "Including ISO UEFI boot (as triggered by USING_UEFI_BOOTLOADER=1)" $ISO_MKISOFS_BIN $v -o "$ISO_DIR/$ISO_PREFIX.iso" -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \ -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \ -R -J -volid "$ISO_VOLID" $EFIBOOT -v . >&8 As you see from the above extract of the code we do use the "mkisofs" command. The reason why I mentioned genisoimage package is because of the following: on Fedora/Ubuntu: rpm -qf $(which mkisofs) genisoimage-1.1.11-19.fc19.x86_64 On SLES/OpenSuse: rpm -qf $(which mkisofs) cdrkit-cdrtools-compat-1.1.8-3.32.3 It also points to 'wodim' so the redirect to Jan Engelhardt seems correct to me.

He is fully informed since then and he did not see any problems. Juergen Weigert is a whitness for the discussion in 2011. You should assume a timeout and take the OK from 2011. BTW: someone should correct the shell script that calls mkisofs with EFI boot. Mkisofs did never have an option -e and the EFI boot is initiated via a "-eltorito-platform efi" option. This option has been added when support for alternate Eltorito boot code was added. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811636 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811636#c13 --- Comment #13 from Jörg Schiling <joerg.schilling@fokus.fraunhofer.de> 2014-02-04 15:55:33 UTC --- Just a note: -eltorito-platform is not compatible to the patch avilable from RedHat for an outdated mkisofs version that is distributed under the name "genisoimage". It is howerver compatible to the rest of mkisofs previous concepts. As far as I understand, the RedHat option modified the main Eltorito entry and is used instead of the normal boot option, but this is in conflict with the Eltorito boot concept. The option -eltorito-platform allows to start a new entry in a Eltorito multi boot environment, making this entry of type "efi". The option -eltorito-platform takes no parameter. After you specify it, you continue with the standard Eltorito boot options. The shell script mentioned in this bug calls "mkisofs" under this name but expects behavior that is only available from a patched genisoimage. To fix the problem, you need to do more than just to replace option names. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
