Could you explain why? The most obvious practical use would be: $ mkisofs -r -C `burncd msinfo` -M /dev/acd0c -o new.iso goodies Writing to stderr means this doesn't work, and you have to add 2>&1 to it. Also the white space means you have to use extra quoting. >> Can I commit the obvious patch? > >Could you just hang on for now, since I'm doing large changes to >burncd just now in order to support other things, and keeping >everybody changes to the stock sources is not making things >easier... Are these changes intended for 4.5? I'm hoping the small change I proposed would be accepted into 4.5, before anybody starts using "burncd msinfo" in practice. I think this is sensible, even if a much improved burncd is scheduled for 4.6. Regardless of this, I do not intend to commit any unwelcome changes. Stephen.
