Are you a victim of the lies from the non-social Debian people?
The fork happened because a Debian packetizer wanted to get more attention in order to get a better chance to get a job at the company "Nero" after he finished his studies. This is of course a "reason", but a very selfish one...
Ach, Joerg.
That's not really relevant as most people use libburnia these days.
Why should people use something that supports less features than cdrtools?
People don't have to use anything. But distributions have the right to choose what they package and what they don't. They decided against cdrecord but that doesn't keep anyone of downloading cdrecord from your website and installing it. So I don't see the problem here.
Debian keeps wodim around as it is mkisofs from libburnia is still missing some options required for creating bootable images for Apple PowerMac systems.
I doubt that this is a real issue since I doubt that there is a need to add this code at all.
Yes, that is the real issue. I know that because I am on the Debian Ports team and I need mkisofs from the cdrkit package to make bootable CDs for powerpc.
1) The "supported" platforms are dead since 20 years. Are they supported by Debian at all?
Yes. And you are talking to one of the people in charge of them. This even includes m68k :-).
2) Mkisofs includes a "raw" boot option. You can of course do what the manufacturers of these platforms did: copy a platform specific boot block to the first 32 kB of the disk.
The images I created without cdrecord work fine and we have many happy users. Thanks, Adrian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
