 [`xorrisofs`](https://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/) is used to create the DMG.
 
-`xorrisofs` cannot compress DMGs, so afterwards, the DMG tool from the
-`libdmg-hfsplus` project is used to compress it. There are several bugs in this
-tool and its maintainer has seemingly abandoned the project.
-
-The DMG tool has the ability to create DMGs from scratch as well, but this functionality is
-broken. Only the compression feature is currently used. Ideally, the creation could be fixed
-and `xorrisofs` would no longer be necessary.
