thanks

Oops, I have this confused with another bug in xcdroast.  This is not
quite so serious, though I understand it's irritating.

Ben.

xcdroast depends on wodim, not cdrecord, but does not know to call
wodim.  It is currently unusable unless the cdrecord compatibility
package is included.

And Jörg, you can stop lying about Debian.  You know perfectly well why
we no longer ship your cdrtools.

Bug#389033: xcdroast: no more dvd burning

2006-09-23 Thread Jan Willem Stumpel
Package: xcdroast
Severity: important


The title says it all. After a Sid dist-upgrade I burned 3 coasters. Thought
it was a bad batch of disks, got a new pack, another coaster:

-- Device returns wrong startsec
-- Burn-free switched on, later off
-- trying to mount the coaster gives wrong fstype

Got it working again by installing xcdroast and cdrecord from Sarge.
This probably has something to do with the conflict between the open source
community and Joerg Schilling. He may be a difficult person, but at least
his programs work. Please test any alternatives to his programs before release.

If you like to get a working cdrecord with DVD support, you need to get the 
original from:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

Compile it yourself and install it suid-root. Suid-root is needed in order to 
make cdrecord work correctly on newer Linux kernels.


This probably has something to do with the conflict between the open source
community and Joerg Schilling. He may be a difficult person, but at least

As I am a member of the Open Source community, it is obvious that there 
cannot be such a conflict.

There is however a conflict between the Open Source community and Debian 
caused by the fact that Debian does not like to accept decisions made by the
Open Source community...

Interesting.. I wonder how this will work out. This kind of
conflict (legal hair-splitting in the absence of any real legal
problems) is getting a little bit too frequent to my taste,
nowadays. It has already killed dosemu. I do not know which side
is right. It is just a pity that good work goes to waste.

In the meantime, I'll continue to use your old version (in Debian
Sarge) which works well. Many thanks for writing it.

I don't know why as I only made my code more free

What I see is that people get confused by the current dispute
and that many people will have to live with an outdated version of cdrtools
on Debian.

I still recommend to use a recent original version as Debian did not 
update cdrtools since mid-2005 and a lot of things did change since then.

cdda2wav has been overhouled and a lot of small bugs have been fixed.

readcd has a reed-solomon correction lib inside

cdrecord:
DVD-Support now OSS
Supporting DVD+R/DL with layer break
Supporting DVD-R/DL
Work around NEC DVD speed reporting bugs
Work around Pioneer DVD+ fixaton bugs
Comming soon: DVD multi session

And mkiksofs now support the find(1) syntax (including mkisofs
graft point syntay) to the right of a -find option and a lot fo smaller
bugs have been fixed.

All this has been done since May.

Jörg
