As this version is not currently available to you, portage is bailing out as not all dependencies could be satisfied. equery d splashutils may give you some idea what is trying to pull in the newer version.

Doing popular things seems to imply that you become the target of attacks. I didn't follow the whole licence issue, nor I don't care that much about that (I was just explaining what I know from the Internet). The problem, as it seemed, is that you and Bloch staunchly refused to settle down the issue somehow. Please correct me if it's wrong. Mr. Bloch started several attacks against the cdrtools project and he did this in an extremely unfair way. He spread unproven and untrue claims about cdrtools.

It is usual not to believe unproven claims, but why do so many people believe the unproven claims from Mr. Bloch? The problem with all the attacks was that the people around Mr. Bloch spread vague unproven claims as usual in calumniation campaigns. When asked to prove their claims, they either started with new vague attacks or stopped answering. This would not be a problem if people would not believe unproven claims. The real reason behind the attacks from Mr. Bloch is missing will for cooperation. As he did not like this to be in relation with his name, he started to spread the fairy tale about license problems. Interestingly, Eben Moglen (law professor) says that what cdrtools do is OK in general. Lawyers asked by distributors of the original cdrtools say that there is no problem in special. Some people still believe the legal opinion from a laymen like Mr. Bloch. The problem, however, is that -being it your fault or not- that incident somehow made hard for some people to rely on your tools. :( You cannot rely on the fork because it is full of bugs that never have been in the original software and because no bugs are fixed since nearly 6 months.

[gentoo-user] Re: star
Let me try to give some information on star star by default writes to stdout and already supports 7z compression including auto-format/comression detection. You need to install a working p7zip in your PATH. Star is 100% compatible to tar, a big problem is that GNU tar is not 100% compatible to tar. Star is not only a TAR archiver but a complete solution. - Star is an archiver library supports the most important archive formats: - OLD UNIXv7 tar - OLD BSD tar - POSIX-1.1988 TAR - POSIX-1.2001 TAR - CPIO - the old star format from 1985 (the first tar with special file support) - Star extensions on POSIX-1.1988 TAR - Star extensions on POSIX-1.2001 TAR - this include _working_ incremental dump/restore - Star's upper layer supports several CLI variants depending on av[0]: - Star - the UNIX compatible CLI that star introduced in 1982 under the name star, all features of all archiveers are available. - TAR - the SUSv2 (UNIX-98) TAR CLI - gtar - all useful features of GNU tar 1.14 - pax - the POSIX archiver - cpio - the SUSv2 (UNIX-98) cpio CLI - Star has a built in find(1) that works in archive/extract/list/copy mode. It helps to make star very powerful as this find includes -chown/-chgrp/-ghmod to on-the-fly change incore information during archive processing. - Star implements highly optimized buffering for optimum I/O thoughput - Star typically needs 1/3 of the user CPU time than GNU tar - Star supports fully correct archiving of sparse files if the OS supports to read the hole list. - Star supports ACLs in an OS independent way. - Star supports Linux specific features (like file flags and XATTR). GNU tar does not implement a single Linux specific feature. - Star implementes ~ 2x as many features as GNU tar does. - The star archive format extensions are fully documented. For more information see http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/star.html The main problem on many Linux distributions is that they do not actively maintain recent star packages. If you believe that star called as tar does not behave correctly (as decribed in http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xcu/tar.html, send me a report!
