Just would need to be convinced.) well, it is a little bit unusual to have versioning with letters and not only numbers... I would expect the watchfile regex to be more complicated. Anyway, if you like it, you can keep it :) >Rather in contrary. >Upstream libburn-*.gz contains code for libburn.so and for the >executable binary /usr/bin/cdrskin, which offers a CLI roughly >compatible to wodim and cdrecord.
