That is not the case in Fedora.  xorriso does not provide any
genisoimage binary, that's provided by a 'genisoimage' RPM
which was created from cdrkit src RPM.

Alpine likewise has no 'genisoimage' binary provided by
xorriso.

For even more fun, xorriso is now a sub-RPM of the libisoburn
source RPM


If we could make cdrom-test  use 'mkisofs' binary then we could
likely use the xorriso package on all platforms IIUC.

With regards,
Daniel
