[Directory-discuss] Updated proposal for FSD entry of GNU xorriso

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

i'd like to update the FSD entry of GNU xorriso.
It is listed on http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Free_Software_Directory:GNU
under "May need labeling as GNU project and/or setting GNU package
identifier".

There would be few use in giving me editing permission, because my
browser does not react on clicking the grey button "help to improve
this entry" on http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Xorriso.

New releases happen in intervals of about 2 months. They get announced
via address@hidden

My proposal for the updated record content:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

GNU xorriso creates, loads, manipulates, and writes ISO 9660 filesystem
images with Rock Ridge extensions. Files can be copied in and out.
Optionally it supports hard links, ACLs, xattr, and MD5 checksums.
The session results get written to optical media or to filesystem objects.

A special property of xorriso is that it needs neither an external ISO 9660
formatter program nor an external burn program for CD, DVD, or BD, but
rather incorporates the libraries of libburnia-project.org .
Thus GNU xorriso depends only on fundamental operating system facilities.

Current stable version is
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/xorriso/xorriso-1.1.8.tar.gz

-------------------------------------------------------------------------


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
