But yes, it would probably be a good idea to drop cdrkit IMHO, though kiwi still requires it for some reason AIUI. Maybe they need to be prompted to drop it or fix it.
IIRC, there was such a discussion, but some people did fear problems from front ends that have been patched by Debian and others in order to support wodim. Maybe it is time to rethink this decision.
I launched yast to check what version of cdrecord was installed and yast showed it as not installed.
So you did in fact use wodim/cdrkit. I went from 13.1 to tumbleweed and i never had a burn fail prior to tumbleweed, i think this is the first burns i've done since tumbleweed.
The problem with wodim is that it sometimes hangs, works in many cases with CDs, fails with a rate of aprox. 50% with DVDs and does not support BluRays at all. The problem with genisoimage is that it inserts bugs in the filesystem that are not visible for most people because they do not look in dept at the results. There may be a complete failure in the future when someone fixes the ISO9660 filesystem driver in Linux. Mkisofs fixed dozens of bugs in August 2006 - which is more than 2 years after Debian stopped importing original code. BTW: The bugs in that software exist since May 2004, when Debian started their fork by inserting bad code. They did this by using the original program names and tried to hide the fact that they did not distribute the original software anymore. After it turned out that they are not willing to cooperate nor to fix their bugs, they have been explicitely disallowed to use the original names. This resulted in the new names introduced around September 2006. Debian however claimed that they just created the fork at that time even though it offeres the same set of Debian specific bugs as you can see in the fork (using the original names) from around Autumn 2004 already. Given that we are talking about more than 50 Debian specific bugs, this is a strongly unique indication. P.S. in September 2004, I have been asked by Roy Fielding from the Apache foundation what happened and after I explained that, he confirmed that similar problems exist bewteen Apache and Debian. So what you see with cdrtools looks like a typical social battle initated by Debian.
