Ok, technical: I've searched bugzilla.novell.com for open bugs against "wodim cdrecord cdrkit mkisofs genisoimage" as the most prominent examples (I think).
There is one open bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507337
I don't argue against cdrkit probably has more bugs but apparently openSUSE users don't have massive issues with it.
The last time I checked the suse bugtracker, I found that suse did close obvious and unfixed bugs. It seems that looking at the novell bugtracking system does not help. But it is interesting that bug 507337 is the most annoying problem with the fork that I have been presented at the Sun day in easter 2007 in St. Petersburg. A friend did show me the problem and we did fetch the original software and he was immediately able to talk to his drive.
What is the reason for being unfriendly to a very active OSS author?
You wanted to speak technical so don't get us started on friendliness.
If you like to have a technical discussion, please check the various related bug tracking systems that are run in a more serious way. If you sum up all bugs reported to Debian, Ubuntu and Redhat and if you also look at the GUIs that are affected by the bugs from the fork, you will find out that there are more than 100 serious bugs in the fork. These bugs exisist for a very long time and nobody is interested in fixing them. Given the fact that many of the bugs could be fixed easily, we need to conclude that the fork is completely unmaintained since more than two years. For an overview of the bugs in the fork, please reas this: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/linux-dist.html#problems Jörg -- EMail:joerg@schily.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin js@cs.tu-berlin.de (uni) joerg.schilling@fokus.fraunhofer.de (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
