Hi,
i'm the upstream and help with preparing the Debian packages.
So i assume that any needed action in this case is up to my sponsor
Dominique Dumont (Cc'd).
But:
Are you aware that the effort to switch to 64 bit time_t is not worth much
in a ISO 9660 producing software, even on amd64, as long as
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/fs/isofs/isofs.h
has int as return type of the ISO-9660-to-Unix-time function
extern int iso_date(u8 *, int);
(implemented in fs/isofs/util.c) ?
I once made a successful attempt to get the attention of parts of the
kernel community:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221024135517.7d40b96a206020eca03e3802@linux-foundation.org/t/
But as it looks, it never made it into the torvalds repo.
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
