Hi
Back in the day that all major distros switched to cdrkit (fork from cdrtools) i was one of the maintainers (at the time maintainer on Gentoo Linux) that made a decision to ship cdrkit by default and start porting applications to cdrkit (brasero and ncb). This decision was mainly to follow every distros at the time and get all maintainers together since cdrtools switched license and debian maintainers questioned this problem[1]. Now days cdrkit development is almost dead[2] and this piece of software is full of bugs that noone wants to fix. As a solution i propose to review cdrtools license (Sun says it's ok) and replace cdrkit by cdrtools on O:F. Joerg (cdrtools author and maintainer) seems much more friendly now days and very responsive to the bugs. We also have recent packages available on home:/hennichodernich/
Can we consider this ?
AFAIK cdrtools still have some problems that were solved in cdrkit:
acessing the device via /dev/sg vs. /dev/sr https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226019
burning without root or suid
and AFAIK there is no chance to have this fixed in upstream and having separate suse patches was against Joerg's GPL.
I have cdrtools installed to test with brasero and i have no problems with this.
I have just verified that bug 226019 is still a problem. With cdrecord from home:/hennichodernich/ on 11.1 I am not able to burn a cd, unless I kill hald-addon-storage. I could reproduce it with all LG devices that I tested. This particular device was 'DVDRAM GSA-U10N '. Also, cdrecord from that package is installed with suid root. I am quite sure that our security team won't like it. Vladimir -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
