There seem to be more problems, I cannot see packages for cdrtools. Why are these packages missing?
cdrtools is in the Base:System project and distributed that way and just
I cannot find it in the repositories named above, this is my question. Could you please answer this question. If cdrtools is part of the base system, why are the packages not at the place (see above) where other similar packages could be found?
looking at it, the packaging and the setup does not look sane. Who's the maintainer of the package? I see the following problems and the maintainer should fix these:
We did have an in depth discussion on the package in the first week of september. During this time, several fixes have been made (e.g. adding suid root to some files in order to allow them to be able to work and adding some files that mkisofs needs for the character translation). If you don't like it the way it is now, why didn't you ask 8 weeks ago?
* The package in Base:System links to a home project, it should be the other way round.
??? Could you please explain this? I don't understand you. The fact that the packaging for cdrtools is made as a "home project" is a result of the fact that Suse did not provide the packages although they are needed by the users.
* There's no changelog in the package, please add a cdrkit.changes file * Modification of /etc/permissions.local is not allowed
We are not talking about the cdrkit package but about the free original. The cdrtools source contains a very detailed changelog and the suse package also contains a suse specific changelog file. This this not enough? If you have problems with the package itself, you should ask the person who makes the package. I am shure he is open to useful input. BTW: the package fixes a bug in the suse distro as the entries for cdrecord, cdda2wav, readcd and rscsi to allow suid root are missing.
