[arch-general] cdrecord instead of wodim
Hi! What would you say to a wodim -> cdrecord transition? I have a bug here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13181 . And Joerg Schilling wrote me, that cdrecord is still developed. So, what do you say?

What is there to say? You're free to install any software you like on your own system. Glenn

Why a transition again? In my opinion, there should never have been a transition in the first place, cdrtools/cdrecord should have been kept. Both tools belong to the official repositories. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12960

Long discusion. But for example in my system can't write DVD because "DMA speed check fail" with cdrecord, and with cdrkit (the wodim) can record without problems. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D
The main problem is in my opinion licensing. Some parts of cdrecord code are CDDL and some are GPL but these licenses are not compatible.

Before this will be dicussed to death: search the forums or bug tracker. There are plenty of threads about this. Further discussion is pointless. In short: ATM no DEV or TU is interested in packaging this. So you either become one yourself or just build it using the PKGBUILD found in the AUR. For everyone using Arch there is allways a choice. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=49336 I dont think this is going anywhere any time soon. I have put my hopes on the Ubuntu gyus, but im not that optimistic. Everyone knows cdrtools is better, everyone knows cdrkit is not really maintained, but software and its quality is totally irrelevant in this war. This is about egos. Thanks to pacman and the way Arch package management works in general, end users actually have a choice. -- Greg what to do and what not to do in public :o) http://linux.sgms-centre.com/misc/netiquette.php
