Ron Johnson dixit: Does this imply make a bootable CD image? Yes, both NetBSD® and MirBSD use it for this purpose. //mirabilos -- “It is inappropriate to require that a time represented as seconds since the Epoch precisely represent the number of seconds between the referenced time and the Epoch.” -- IEEE Std 1003.1b-1993 (POSIX) Section B.2.2.2 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#538171: ITP: makefs -- create a file system image from a directory tree
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Thorsten Glaser t...@mirbsd.de * Package name: makefs Version : 20090724 Upstream Author : The MirOS Project miros-disc...@mirbsd.org * URL : http://www.mirbsd.org/cvs.cgi/src/usr.sbin/makefs/ * License : 4-clause BSD Programming Lang: C Description : create a file system image from a directory tree NetBSD® makefs(8) creates a file system image from a directory tree without the need for superuser privileges. The MirBSD version fixes ECMA 119, SUSP and RRIP (Rock Ridge) compliance. Supported target filesystem types are: cd9660 ISO 9660 (ECMA 119) compatible filesystem images, with Rock Ridge, El Torito, and other features ffs 4.2FFS, the BSD Fast Filesystem, also known as UFS1; support for UFS2 is currently untested The images created can be of a fixed (predefined) size, given on the command line, or sized automatically. Permission bits are taken from the source directory tree but may be overridden using an mtree file. This package is created to aid Luca Favatella in porting d-i to Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. It also serves purpose as a genisoimage re- placement, if people should then so wish. (Which is why the MirBSD version was ported, as it conforms to ECMA 119, RRIP, SUSP and the El Torito standard, which the NetBSD® version doesn’t.) I fully intend to maintain this package in MirBSD (“upstream”) as well as Debian (in my capacity as DM); I also try to coordinate pushing all patches to the “up-upstream” (NetBSD®). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#538171: ITP: makefs -- create a file system image from a directory tree
Dixi quod… Description : create a file system image from a directory tree First package, tested on sid of today (linux-i386), is available at: http://www.freewrt.org/~tg/debs/dists/sid/wtf/pkgs/makefs/ Read http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=33925 for a long-standing bug in the ffs code, though (you’ll probably have to use the -s option – in MirBSD, we use makefs(8) with it for floppies, and all other uses are cd9660 which works superb). I also manually rsync’d the AnonCVS and CVSweb mirror, so feel free to poke in it (both for the package and for makefs itself). Online manual page: http://www.mirbsd.org/man8/makefs Aurelien Jarno will be looking into it (tomorrow, probably), but more eyes never hurt. Luca Favatella will be testing it with his d-i work on kfreebsd-* soonish. bye, //mirabilos -- I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it when God enlightens him.
