OpenSUSE have silently dropped cdrtools from base:system. Jorge Schilling=
 was involved in a dispute with a debian packager and somehow,=20
most probably where the egos come in, this blew up into a dispute with al=
l the major distributions. I'm of a very strong opinion that users=20
shouldn't suffer because of politics but I need bug reports to get my poi=
nt through about cdrtools. I want to push it to Packman but the=20
powers that be have effectively blocked that by requesting it be parallel=
 installable with wodim which unfortunately isn't possible.
Growisofs is also redundant IMHO it's totally unmaintained since 2008 and=
 jdd's experience confirms that something is not right.
Bug reports will help, please add [email protected] as a cc. I can pu=
t cdrtools in multimedia but I've already upset one senior factory=20
maintainer somehow resulting in slv2, LV2 plugin support, being blocked s=
ince the end of Feb so I have to toe the line.
