Why not dvdrtools?Why not dvdrtools?Posted Sep 5, 2006 7:47 UTC (Tue) by Zomb (subscriber, #23391)In reply to: Why not dvdrtools? by eru Parent article: cdrkit: Debian's fork of cdrtools
Because dvdrtools took off from an older version and has not received many updates/fixes since then but got some significant modifications to port it away from "Schilling-style". Previous Debian package already had dozens of fixes and extensions (many shared with other distros, after all), it would have been the hell porting them to dvdrtools and keeping the quality. Especially in the expected time period, Debian Stable has to be released by the end of the year.
So it was finally the better compromise.
And then there are good and active alternatives which are going to replace cdrtools in the (mid-term) future: libburn/libisofs based apps, libcdio seems quite usefull as well and there is http://littlesvr.ca/isomaster/ which also looks promising.
