cdrtools package, support for nls/utf8 character sets

Hello ppl,

I've been trying desperetly to burn a cd/dvd(k3b) with greek filenames and directory names. I ended up with file names like "???????????????????? (invalid unicode)"
After a lot of searching, i managed to isolate and solve the problem. There has been a patch(http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=52097) for cdrtools to support nls/utf8 character sets.
I guess that 90%+ of people using arch and burning cd's/dvd's, ignore the problem cause they just burn cd's/dvd's using standard english characters.

For all others here it is  big_smile   :

cd $startdir/src/cdrtools-2.01.01

patch -p1 -i ../attachment.cgi?id=52097

make || return 1
make INS_BASE=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

It's a modified pkgbuild of the official arch cdrtools package (http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcv … cvs-markup) patched to support nls/utf8 character sets.
Worked like a charm.  big_smile

If u want to install it, u should uninstall the cdrtools package
pacman -Rd cdrtools


P.S.: I've issued this as a bug in http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/3830 but nobody seemed to care...    :cry:  :cry:  :cry:
