ISO9660 VFS doesn't recognize Joliet extension (losing long filenames)

Reported by: wjaguar Owned by: andrew_b

Description

The version of ISO9660 VFS in mc 4.7.0.1 (mc-4.7.0.1/vfs/extfs/iso9660.in) is trying to use awk for string-matching-based tests, instead of grep which previous versions used, and is doing it wrong. As the result, the two tests always default to true, and isoinfo gets called with Joliet extensions and charset conversion both disabled.

And this abuse of awk was entirely unnecessary, for grep is perfectly able to do matching with alternation. Which is demonstrated by the attached bugfix.

May I ask you to attach some simple small crafted ISO to check on?

Replying to slyfox:

May I ask you to attach some simple small crafted ISO to check on?

Cannot the simple fact that a shell expression like:
echo "nothing" | gawk "/UCS level 1|NO Joliet/" && echo "TRUE"
does in fact print "TRUE", while an expression:
echo "nothing" | grep "UCS level 1\|NO Joliet" && echo "TRUE"
doesn't, be verified without an ISO? :-)

Anyway, here is one: http://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/temp/showbug.iso

I updated the patch, so that it also gets rid of a spurious error message.

And regarding the original cause of #1485, which resulted in this breakage - the problem was really quite simple: in cdrtools 2.01.01 branch, isoinfo just could not use a nondefault encoding till version 2.01.01a68
So I suspect "UCS level 1" was never a problem by itself, and it just so happened that ISOs with non-latin filenames in original reporter's collection were made that way - "UCS level 3" ISOs produce all-underscores "names" too if the filenames are say cyrillic, and encoding is left at default (which is iso8859-1). Which means that when people upgrade to cdrtools 2.01.01a68 or later, for them the check for "UCS level 1" added in #1485 will act as a bug, not a feature.
