I have a need to write a bunch of images to a CD/DVD on a regular basis, then mail it off every week or so. It would be ideal to do this piece-meal and I gather that is what this project is all about.
Packet-writing is most useful for _re_writing. In your case, a multi-session disc or just regular ISO images would make more sense, I think...but
I have looked through the last few months archives, but I don't see a recent overview and the sourceforge site seems out of date. i.e. No news in almost a year.
You can grab the latest patches from: http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/patches/packet/
You obviously provide patches against the vanilla kernel. Do you also tend to provide patches against any of the vendor kernels. (maybe SuSE's since the sponsor the mailing list.)
There may be vendor specific patches at that location. I don't know about Suse, but at one time there were Redhat patches.
If the sourceforge site is current, the current release is 0.0.2, is that indicative of the quality?
No. The project slowed down because the code mostly works. Just get the patches from the above link and not from sourceforge.
How portable is the UDF. i.e. If I save a bunch of jpg images to a CD, is there any way to read them off other than having another UDF Patched Linux box?
Reading is portable across platforms, but writing is not. -- Skip
