Hi Thomas -- I approved the project submission, it should be fully active within a few hours.

I switched the license to GPLv3+ from GPLv2+, per our lengthy previous conversations and your note here.

My understanding is that you won't be keeping the sources on savannah, just using it to maintain the GNU web pages and other such purposes, which is fine.

Thanks,
Karl

Registration Administration


While this item will be useful to track the registration process, approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific Group Administration page, accessible only to site administrators, effectively logged as site administrators (superuser):



Registration Details


  • Name: GNU xorriso
  • System Name:  xorriso
  • Type: Official GNU software
  • License: GNU General Public License v2 or later





Description:

xorriso creates, loads, manipulates, and writes ISO 9660
filesystem images with Rock Ridge extensions. It can load
the management information of existing ISO images, and it
writes the session results to optical media or to
filesystem objects. Vice versa xorriso is able to copy
file objects out of ISO 9660 filesystems.

The filesystem manipulation capabilities surpass those of
mkisofs. xorriso is especially suitable for backups,
because of its high fidelity of file attribute recording
and its incremental update sessions.
Supported optical media are CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW,
DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, BD-R, BD-RE.

GNU xorriso is a static compilation of libburn, libisofs,
libisoburn, and xorriso, contributed to the GNU operating
system under GPLv3+ and promised to be permanently
supported by libburnia.project.org.



Other Software Required:

OS kernel, libc, libpthread, eventually libiconv.
Optical media can currently be written only via the kernels
of GNU/Linux or of FreeBSD. The latter needs libcam and
atapicam.


Other Comments:

xorriso was dubbed a GNU package today, 12 Feb 2010.
The files are still being augmented to meet the standards
for a GNU package. Therefore the checkboxes for copyright
and license notices are promises to be fulfilled soon.
There are only two media files: hosting site logo images
which i have to evaluate in the next days.

GNU xorriso is the successor of xorriso-standalone:
