New xorriso for supporting using grub2 as boot manager on isos... Requested by MartinW and alredy used on mga6 infra: Other fixes: Bug fixes towards previous stable version xorriso-1.4.6: -as mkisofs -no-emul-boot without -boot-load-size defaulted to size 4, instead of full boot image size -read_fs "norock" did not prevent reading of root Rock Ridge info Mix of absolute and relative disk paths could cause SIGSEGV with pattern expansion Protective MBR for GPT could emerge with boot flag set Appended partitions of size >= 4 GiB led to abort with error message "FATAL : ISO overwrite". Thanks to Sven Haardiek. --mbr-force-bootable did not get into effect with -append_partition Exit value of failed -mount command was reported as 0 -boot_image actions "keep" and "patch" did not work any more. Regression by libisofs 1.4.4. Enhancements towards previous stable version xorriso-1.4.6: New -find tests -maxdepth and -mindepth New commands -update_lxi and -update_li New -boot_image bootspec iso_mbr_part_type= New -as mkisofs option -iso_mbr_part_type New -as mkisofs option -eltorito-platform Properly refusing on Pseudo Overwritable formatted BD-R SRPMS: xorriso-1.4.8-1.mga6.src.rpm i586: xorriso-1.4.8-1.mga6.i586.rpm x86_64: xorriso-1.4.8-1.mga6.x86_64.rpm
