k3b happily uses cdrtools if present.
Yeah, that's wodim.
You seem to missunderstand things: k3b tries to avoid this fake whenever possible. k3b authors know that "wodim" and friends is unmaintained crap and full of bugs. If the original software is available, k3b of course uses cdrecord and friends.
But I've seen k3b use cdrdao at times, not sure why.
Maybe something cdrdao supports that wodim doesn't, but DAO is not that something since wodim supports it just fine.
wodim is a "fork" from a cdrtools version from September 2004. The only "development activity" that could be seen was to introduce new Debian specific bugs. Since May 5th 2007, it is fully unmaintained.
I guess the situation is more dire than I thought, then, if *both* are unmantained. Then again, both worked fine for me since they stopped being maintained. Perhaps they're "mature" instead. Anyway, I'll try to catch k3b using one or the other then, from what you say, that shouldn't happen on a single system right? I must have seen one system use cdrdao while another uses wodim. That's more likely. Regardless, k3b currently has cdrdao as hard requirement so it can't be dropped. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
