Bugzilla Bug 129759

Hello.

Recently, app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha07 has been marked stable. In the
ChangeLog, I noticed there is supposed to be a "a better fix for unicode".
While this does fix displaying the name of cdrtools author, the patch
(mkisofs-iconv-10.patch) that made it possible to create (valid) ISO images
with Joliet extensions under UTF-8 locale was removed from the ebuild.

To reproduce, create a file with some accents in its name (I'll use č

Hello.

Recently, app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha07 has been marked stable. In the
ChangeLog, I noticed there is supposed to be a "a better fix for unicode".
While this does fix displaying the name of cdrtools author, the patch
(mkisofs-iconv-10.patch) that made it possible to create (valid) ISO images
with Joliet extensions under UTF-8 locale was removed from the ebuild.

To reproduce, create a file with some accents in its name (I'll use
čúčo.txt here) and run:

# mkisofs -r -J -o i.iso čúčo.txt
# mount -o loop,utf8,norock i.iso /mnt
# ls -l /mnt

You see garbled filename (you can get the same result by running "recode
l1..utf8 <<<&#269;ú&#269;o.txt").

cdrtools-2.01-r3 works without problems in this regard.

Hmm, I see bugzilla could not cope with the accented text either ;-)))

You should get the idea nevertheless.

Indeed, forcing the use of utf8 with
# mkisofs -input-charset=utf8
no longer works; it complains "Unknown charset"

cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha10 behaves in the same way :(

Strange.  I though I already posted an update to that bug several days ago.

I tried to apply the patch to the current alpha10-release of cdrtools, but I
had no luck.  Even with patching the patch I could not get it working.  Too
many things changed and I'm not used to cdrtool's code.

The utf8-USE-flag indeed just enables proper output of the messages, but can't
handle the iso-creation with utf-8 filenames.

It's much appreciated if somebody can send in a patch that works with alpha10.

Created an attachment (id=92466) [details]
This works to me.

I'm not a programmer but made a patch based on the original
mkisofs-iconv-10.patch.
not sure it is in the right way, but it works to me.
If it's in a wrong way, please someone fix that.

Great, that seems to work:

elladan tmp # mkisofs -r -J -o i.iso őű

Great, that seems to work:

I'm going to apply your patch to all newer versions of cdrtools in the tree.

It's in portage, so let's close this bug.
