Package: genisoimage Version: 9:1.1.2-1 Severity: normal I've just used the "-o -" option in a genisoimage/wodim pipe and didn't realize that genisoimage writes to stdout by default and the "-o -" option doesn't do what is does in many other command-line utilities (i.e. write to stdout and not to a file named "-").
genisoimage created a file named "-" and wrote nothing to stdout, so using it in a pipe a'la "genisoimage -o - -R . | wodim" doesn't work. It would be good if you could include a warning on the console (or even abort with an error message) whenever a user supplies the "-o -" command-line option. It's not so likely anyone would want to write to a file named "-", anyway :) Thanks, Thomas -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-xen-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages genisoimage depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libmagic1 4.17-5etch1 File type determination library us ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime genisoimage recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
