Description David Kuestler 2005-05-14 02:16:53 UTC
Description of problem:
When building DVD images I can not fill the DVD.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Long standing problem - all versions ;-)

How reproducible:
Add extra packages to the standard distribution.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy standard distribution packages to a work area.
2. Add extra packages and modify configuration files as necessary.
3. Try to build DVD.
  
Actual results:
DVD fills to 4.2G and overflows to next DVD.

Expected results:
DVD fills to 4.4G.

Additional info:
The problem is caused by an unsigned integer overflow.
The solution is to use a long integer.
The patch ( also fix a syntax error ) :
