See recent post about compiling 'cdrtools', which is now in EasyOS:

cdrtools replaces cdrkit — May 20, 2026

Forum member FeodorF reported a date problem reached in 2028:

This site has the fix for 'genisoimage' the GPL version of 'mkisofs':

...which has a patch, but it doesn't patch cleanly in 'mkisofs'. Instead, downloaded the latest 'schilytools' from here:

https://codeberg.org/schilytools/schilytools/releases/tag/2024-03-21

...which has the fix in file mkisofs/mkisofs.c, then I created a patch for my cdrtools source. My source and patch uploaded here:

https://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/source/alphabetical/c/

The schilytools repository does have other commits since Jörg was deceased, so probably should use that source, rather than only applying one patch to the older cdrtools-3.02a9 source.
