Anyone, How can we setup cdrtools to completely replace cdrkit so that other programs like k3b can use seamlessly ? Any guides, I didn't find anything on ArchLinux Wiki which is kinda strange.
The hard way only for your system: pkgname=cdrecord _pkgname=cdrtools ... conflicts=('cdrkit' 'cdrtools') provides=('cdrkit') ... I have no cdrkit here because i don't need it and i don't need the sysmlinks inside of the package.
One more thing cdrtools required it to be run as root, isn't that dangerous. any method by which we give the required permissions to normal user?
I change the permissions in the install file in this way: /bin/echo "Change Owner, Group and Permission to root.optical (4710) ..." for n in /usr/bin/cdrecord \ /usr/bin/readcd \ /usr/bin/cdda2wav; do /bin/chown -v root:optical $n && /bin/chmod -v 4710 $n; done /bin/echo "done. Than the user has only to be in the group optical. It works but perhaps a expert should say if this is okay. See you, Attila
