Package: genisoimage Version: 9:1.1.11-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
According to information found via Web search, the old mkisofs supported a '-xa' option, to create XA-format ISO filesystems. (Exactly what the differences between that and a non-XA filesystem are is not clear at a glance, but testing confirms that they do exist.) Since genisoimage is descended from mkisofs, it seemed likely that it should also support the same option, but the man page does not mention any such option. However, in my testing, genisoimage does accept the '-xa' option, and does generate a different image with that option - including various obviously XA-related tags in the generated (meta?)data. Please document the '-xa' option in the genisoimage man page. It may also be worth reviewing the code to identify any other undocumented command-line options, and adding man-page documentation for any such which are found. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.13-1-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages genisoimage depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-5 ii libc6 2.18-7 ii libmagic1 1:5.18-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 genisoimage recommends no packages.
