    I've been trying to burn a single large file (a 4.2 GB encrypted gbde
    filesystem within a file) to a DVD, but mkisofs tells me the file is too
    large.

    I looked on Google and found that mkisofs had a filesize limit of 2 GB, but
    this was increased to 4 GB, so I dropped the filesize to 4095 MB, but it
    still failed, so I guess the version in ports still has the 2 GB limits.

    Does the development version of cdrtools in ports have the 4 GB limit? If so,
    how can I get sysutils/dvd+rw-tools to use the newer version, is it just a
    matter of deinstalling them both and changing the dependence in
    pkgtools.conf?
