mkudf missing from distribution
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:32:41 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0smp i686) mkudf does not seem to be part of any packages. You have UDF support in your kernel, but the tools are missing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to create a UDF filesystem. 2. 3.
UDF read is supported, write is very very experimental. Anyway, mkudf isn't part of the kernel package ; reassigning
Our kernel package doesn't appear to have the headers that udf-tools wants in order to compile, and even when I tried to hack around this, I discovered that some of the distributed source files were empty. It appears that UDF support in the kernel and out is not mature enough to support udf-tools currently. Please reopen this report once things are closer to widespread usability.
I think there might be a misunderstanding. The tools compile ok. Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/linux-udf/udf-0.9.4.1.tar.gz, unpack, run "make tools" and there will be a number of tools available: ./tools/dumpsect ./tools/dumpfe ./tools/taglist ./tools/cdinfo ./tools/mkudf ./tools/chkudf ./tools/dumpea ./tools/checkdisk ./tools/bmap ./tools/dumpdisc ./tools/cdrwtool ./tools/pktsetup ./tools/pdumpsect Obviously, not all tools need to be installed, but mkudf, chkudf, cdrwtool, pktcdvd should be part of the distribution. Also, a device file is created: /dev/pktcdvd0
