As I've reported to Bug 345337, I successfully wrote a CD of data yesterday.

Hopefully, it falls under my proposed category of 'lightly maintained'
& will call on your help only rarely (smile).

Thanks, patch applied in -r3 (as well as other fixes). Note for the
future: please align patches to offset -p1, this way they are much
easier to use in EAPI=6 (can be included in PATCHES array without
modification).

I've taken this package for now, so feel free to open bugs for
other issues or patches. Though I can't promise I'll support this
package forever.

Best regards,
Andrew Savchenko

xcdroast users, please test that xcdroast-0.98_alpha16-r2.ebuild
works for you (you can burn some CD/DVD as a non-root user after
usual setup). I don't have a hardware right now to test it.

After confirmation I'll keep p.mask only for older revisions and

Many thanks, Andrew
it works just fine.

I had to remove the folders $HOME/.xcdroast for each users.
Furthermore, the version check is obsolete.
I have add the attached tiny patch

I revbumped xcdroast to fix this and other issues.

xcdroast users, please test that xcdroast-0.98_alpha16-r2.ebuild
works for you (you can burn some CD/DVD as a non-root user after
usual setup). I don't have a hardware right now to test it.

After confirmation I'll keep p.mask only for older revisions and
will request stabilization of this revision. Afterwards all old
versions will be dropped.

Thanks for the prompt and useful response :
I've quoted it in the bug debate, with further comments.

I'm well aware of the lengthy debate on the Dev list re tree-cleaning,
which I intend to add a comment to later today.

PS James seems not to have read Bug 345337 : I suggest he does (smile).

This should not be a problem as long as you use cdrtools that are more recent 
than from April 2013, when Linux started to support fine grained privileges in
the userland.

All you need to do is to is to disable the xcdroast suid wrapper.

You need to add yourself to the CC list field to receive updates via
email. This does not happen automatically.

[gentoo-user] Xcdroast users : alert

[Philip Webb]

If anyone else uses Xcdroast to write CDs or DVDs,
I suggest they read Bug 345337 & submit appropriate comments.

There seems to be no problem on single-user systems,
but a 6-year-old bug which applies to multi-user systems
is being used as an excuse to remove Xcdroast from the tree.
There was a similar issue with Nethack recently too.

PS I am not receiving e-alerts re comments added to the bug :
can anyone explain why that mb happening & advise me how to get them ?
