Sorry for the lack of proper Debian terminology. My upstream packages are de facto unmaintained because their last active maintainer in Debian has no time to follow my releases. The current packaged version 1.3.2 is two years behind. debian-cd uses GNU xorriso-1.3.4 instead (which i make with my GNU maintainer's hat on). > Anyway, your help is probably more than welcome.

Here i can re-use a rant which i trashbinned yesterday night. :)) I was tired and frustrated that having fresh Debian packages did not bring me as near to my goal as i had hoped. Please take it now just as description of the situation around CD, DVD, and BD burners - narrated with some emotion: -------------------------------------------------------------- mentors.debian.net says i shall join the packaging team of the package. But i would be the only member there. After all i want to make new packages because the team is dead since years. I'm already the bellman at its mailing list pkg-libburnia-devel and its bug tracker. The neighboring team of dvd+rw-tools et.al. is dead, too. Look at the bug lists https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=pkg-libburnia-devel%40lists.alioth.debian.org https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=pkg-opt-media-team%40lists.alioth.debian.org All non-wishlist bugs of pkg-libburnia-devel are fixed in version 1.4.0 of the libraries. Some already in 1.3.2. For pkg-opt-media-team i could diagnose about all bugs with numbers above 700000. (And the others could be burried finally.) As for cdrkit, i guess https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=cdrkit is item omega0 plus 1 on the todo lists of Joerg Jaspert and Steve McIntyre. [Deleted exaggerated rethorics about the worlds of Jack Vance and Franz Kafka.] -------------------------------------------------------------- Well, next morning i felt better. I will try to learn using the official channels. Thanks for the warning about the word "orphaned". Have a nice day :) Thomas
