cdparanoia of course has no "burden" of an upstram because there is no upstream activity since 5 years... Looking at Debian bug lists verifies that ~ 45% of all bugs are caused by the patches applied by Debian and another ~ 45% are caused by Linux Kernel bugs. The kernel problems only may be avoided by using other OS (FreeBSD, Solaris or any other OS where the problems of users are taken seriously). The burden coming from Debian maintainers that apply counter-produtive patches seems to be something for that I cannot provide no solution. But you are of course always free to use an unmodified original source to compile your software. For cdrtools, you get this at: ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ I hope that Debian maintainers would first check binaries from original unmodified sources (soon after a bug report appears). In case that the problem is caused by a patch that comes from Debian, the patch should be removed (this would remove _all_ non Debian-packaging related patches soon). In case that the problem is caused by the Linux kernel I would expect help from Debian maintainers against the unwillingness of the Linux Kernel maintainers and in case of a rare bug in the original software, I would expect cooperation from the Debian maintainers.... > [ For those who don't know, I'm speaking of #350739 and the discussion > of JS on pkg-cdrtools-devel. ] You do not need to point me to the recent problems of the Debian legal management and I did already realize that you seem to be involved in these problems. I encourage you to read my comment at the end of this discussion (from Wed, 05 Apr 2006 17:20:59) in hope that you are willing to discuss things without prejudice.
