[gentoo-user] generating HFS+ isos

[gentoo-user] generating HFS+ isos

[Andrey Vul]

Unfortunately, genisoimage (current version)'s -hfs options generates
old-HFS instead of new-HFS directory table, leading to truncation. Is
there a way, (such as libdmg)
to create HFS+ (OS 9 / OS X) images without using Toast?

Genisoimage is extremely outdated - it is more than 3 years old with no 
updated/enhancements.

HFS support in mkisofs is deprecated, use Apple MAC UDF extensions instead.
The UDF extensions are implemented in mkisofs since more than a year.

Get a recent cdrtools from:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

Note that hfs support in mkisofs will be dropped after the next "stable" release
which is expected to happen soon.

No need for that: 

# emerge cdrtools 

should be sufficient...

Jörg, we know you are on the crusade against cdrkit, but please remember 
that cdrtools are in portage. It should be enough to tip the users into 
using it.

It seems that you missunderstand things. The people behind cdrkit are on a 
crusade against free software. 


The fact that many people by default use the Debian fork that is outdated, 
buggy, violates GPL and Copyright makes it obvios that people still need the
bit more background information I added to my mail.

Good evening!
Tonight on "It's The Mind" we'll examine the phenomenon of déjà-vu.

We are on the gentoo *user* list: Most people here can't change any 
default. If you want to change that default: goto gentoo-dev and 
complain there.

But still this is gentoo: so everyone has the choice to use whatever 
software is in portage.

But I just said, that you should point the people to how they can use 
portage to install your solution.

It would help if you did not try to bend facts.

I recommend you to read my website for the related information.

According to his previous post, he has already looked at your website.  
I quoted it above in case it slipped by.  ;-)

Well, then he would be knowingly spreading lies. Is this what you intend to

Well, no.  I just posted that he already looked at your website and 
didn't see it.  I guess you can make of it whatever you want tho.  It 
*seems* like you are putting words in my mouth anyway so . . . .

If there is a god up there, he is going to stop this thread dead in it's 
tracks RIGHT NOW.

Dale, did you miss the last one?

Joerg, we went through this very very recently. It was not pleasant but you 
were given ample platform to air your views, and you used that opportunity. 
Most of us known how you feel, those who don't can search Google.

This is not your list, it is gentoo's use support list. It is appropriate to 
discuss the usage of your very fine software here. Judging by the sheer 
number of requests you received the last time to stop, it can probably be 
safely assumed that discussion of the alleged crusade against free software 
by a Debian faction, and your counter-crusade against them, probably does not 
constitute a welcome discussion.

The OP had a technical question and this question has been answered.
In addition, the OP has been given an explanation on the background 
because I believew that he has the right to know about it.

Could you explain me why you are tring to convert this thread into something 
that looks like bashing?

Re: [gentoo-user] generating HFS+ isos

[Andrey Vul]

1) Stop the cdrtools vs cdrkit flamewar.
2) I meant HFS+ partition, not Apple extensions to UDF (i.e.
generating a dmg file that, for all intents and purposes, is
indistinguishable from one made in Disk Utility.app or whatever Macs
use to generate DMGs).
3) What I meant was, how to make a hfs *plus* hybrid cd, not hfs
*classic* hybrid cd.
I.e.
/
/foo
/foo/bar.app
/foo/bar.app/Icon\r
/foo/bar.app/qwertyasdf.mpkg
/foo/bar.app/qwertyasdf.mpkg/...
...
/foo/bar.exe
/readme.txt
with *.app, *.mpkg being in HFS+ and *.exe being in ISO9660/Joliet. I
know Toast does this with a fancy GUI, but I don't have the money for
a Mac nor the time to install Hackint0sh in VMware. I was asking if
cdr$foo (or any other *nix-compatible iso maker) does this by passing
a zillion -hide and -hide-hfs parameters (or via fancy GUI, I honestly
don't care)?
