The unending story of cdrtools

There never was any such message.... Cdrtools treats all 30
supported platforms equally and linux is just one of them.

If a platform makes incompatible interface changes that
result in making it temporarily impossible to support
an imprtant feature, a warning is printed as long as there
is no workaround for the interface problem introduced by the
specific platform.

For the last major interface incompatibility that was introduced
in Linux less than a week before a new major cdrtools was release,
a useful and complete workaround was ready in summer 2006.
In the time between introducing the incompatible interface change
in Linux and creating a workaround, cdrecord printed a hint to
run cdrecord as real root or to install an older stable Linux kernel
from the time before the incompatibility has been introduced.

BTW: I cannot comment the article itself as this is hidden from the public :-(
