* 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-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
