cdrkit-1.1.9-cmake.patch
cdrkit-1.1.9-glibc-2.10.patch
cdrkit-1.1.9.tar.bz2
genisoimage-multi-extent.patch

cdrkit cannot be legally distributed as it is in conflict with the
copyright law. The patch for multi extent handling adds even more
Copyright problems and the patch is not correct as it's creator did
not understand what has to be changed in order to support this feature.

The cdrkit "fork" has been created by a non-cooperative and extremely
hostile downstream package maintainer. Do you really like to depend on people
who attack OpenSource software?

In order to maintain software you need related technical skill and enthusiasm.
Neither of the two is present the people behind the fork.

Please carefully read http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/linux-dist.html
to understand the problem......
