Since the vendor versions of cdrecord work, and cdrskin works, I can
only assume that you either can't figure out how to fix the problem
(other are smarter), or you choose to leave the bug and claim it is
someone else's problem. In any case, your doesn't work, other's do.
It seems that you did lose the contact with reality :-(
While cdrecord (the original) runs just fine, the Debian falsification
is not usable at all. And the so called "versions of cdrecord" are just the
Debian falsification.
But hey, your problem is that you are just someone who does not contribute
to OSS. I cannot remember to see any useful contribution from you during the
past 4 years.
What is your intention?
Are you just trying to prevent any further cdrtools development as Mr. Bloch
from Debian or do you have some still unknown target?
Not unknown, I'm trying to get you to see that the security change was
made years ago and everyone but you has found a way to make burning work
without needing to be root. My goal is to get you to realize that your
software is becoming irrelevant, and things like cdrskin, Fedora
cdrecord, and the forked version are all going on. The original cdrecord
could still be the only one, but you chose to make it not work with
current Linux and the world chose to go with software which does.
Why do you send mail to this list if you neither have wuestions nor like
to contribute to OSS development?
I am working on other OSS projects currently, and I'm just letting a
little hot air out of your claims that all problems are with Linux (and
not free BSD) rather than your software. A little does of reality...
This is a mailing list that has the intention to help CD/DVD recording
development and to help users of such software. Your rants do not fit in this
scheme...please stay away unless you are willing to contribute.
