John Paul Adrian Glaubitz, maintainer of rare arches, stated to me that a 64 bit PowerPC variant still wants HFS. We did not explore, though, whether it would accept HFS+ of xorriso or whether it could be served by a HFS image file inside the ISO, similar to the HFS+ image file in Fedora ISOs. > 2. icedax's support for extracting cd-text from audio CDs.

Search for the example input file "NIGHTCATS.TXT" in https://dev.lovelyhq.com/libburnia/libburn/raw/master/doc/cdtext.txt to see how this format looks like. I just tested that it works (without much messages) by: cdrskin -v dev=/dev/sr4 cdtext_to_v07t=$HOME/cdtext.v07t The resulting sheet file is then $HOME/cdtext.v07t. (The CD is self-made. I have no commercial CD with CD-TEXT.) In man icedax i read mainly about .cddb and .cdindex files. Do you have examples ? Can you make a sheet file by cdrskin for comparison with those files from icedax ? ------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't throw wodim out of Debian. Its residual use cases are worth to be kept supported. (Although i can explain them only from hearsay and specs.) genisoimage is still needed, too. Not only -hfs for booting but also -udf for DVD video mastering or big data files for *BSD target systems. Have a nice day :) Thomas
