You can't blame the bug tracking system for that problem, because it was caused 
by humans.

In fact, there have been aprox. 100 bugs in the system related to "cdrkit". 
Most of them have been closed because it is easier to close bug entries than to 
fix the  related bugs.

k3b prefers cdrecord over wodim - the authors know why ;-)

On the other side, this may be a typical problem caused by not being root.

Eduard Bloch, who has no clue on SCSI (in special on Linux) is responsible for 
not installing wodim suid root. He did even remove warnings that are usually 
written by cdrecord in case that there are permission problems.

Before 2004, Linux did require a program to be root when opening the SCSI 
devices in order to be able to send any SCSI command.

After that time, Linux requires a program to be root while sending the related 
commands. 

If you use an unmodified cdrecord, you will see a warning when cdrecord is 
missing the needed privileges - cdrecord abort then. As Bloch did remove these 
warnings, cdrecord tries to continue instead of aborting but may fail later 
with unexplainable problems.

Having write permissions on the device is not enough?

Either linux is not signaling errors or he did actually break the
program, because I'd really expect an error to be triggered in this
case...

It was before 2004, but then a novice programmer (Douglas Gilbert) "enhanced" 
the driver to permit to send SCSI commands even in case that only read 
permissions are hold.

A few months later, Linus Torvalds did not fix this bug but rather broke the 
interface..... now we have to live with this situation.

He did actually break the program.

Maybe I should add a short note: you need to use -raw96r if you are using a 
LiteON drive. The firmware in these drives is buggy and would otherwise create 
defective audio CDs, that e.g. have wrong pregaps and time stamps that count 
backwards.

K3b is correct in being careful and using -raw96r.

And here we are, from my little knowledge this may as well as be why
some people don't believe wodim has issues, and why it does have
issues.

"Oh, it shouldn't need RAW mode.", then someone has a drive that
actually needs it even if it shouldn't.

Sadly I don't have DVD-Rs to volunteer, but IIRC, with my desktop
burner, I had problems with wodim/cdrkit, and nowadays I use cdrtools
with no problems.

If I get my hands on some DVD-Rs, I may as well as try to test this
again, so that proper bug reports can be filled.

This is a _very_ minor bug only. There are plenty of real bugs that
cause defective filesystem images.

Well, I would not care about problems in other packages in this discussion.

Reporting problems should be done to the authors. You cannot expect any effect 
if you report things to Debian.

You will need to make closed but unfixed bugs visible to understand
the problem.

Do not expect upstream actions from people who don't know the basics for the

Eduard Bloch	is the person that started to send repeated personal attacks
		in May 2004 and that later tried to create a red herring of a
		so called license problems in hope people would forget about
		his non-social action.

		He has no clue on SCSI but is responsible for changes that
		introduced a lot of problems in that program.

Joerg Jaspert	is not a maintainer at all. He does not write code or fix bugs
		but he is the main supporter of the Debian iniated dispute.

Steve McIntire	is responsible for the new bugs in "genisoimage", I don't 
		remember that he did ever fix a bug.

Not part of cdrtools.

Eric Youngdale is the initial author of mkisofs. He did contribute code between 
September 1993 and early Spring 1997. I am the main author of this program 
since Spring 1997. While Eric did contribute less than 25% of the amount of 
code I wrote for mkisofs, I beleive that James Pearson did contribute more code
than Eric did.

Edurard Bloch did remove Copyright messes from me in December 2006 - this 
introduced a Copyright violation.....Debian was immediately informed about the 
Copyright violation but did not fix their fault.

There are more than 150 documented bugs, if you add up all non-overlapping 
bugs from various Linux distributors. Fedora did however remove most if the 
bugs without fixing anything.

Many of the bugs have been introduced in 2004 by Edurad Bloch already, many 
others have been introduced in December 2006 - none of these bugs has been 
fixed so far.

If wodim has no real upstream, I guess that would explain part of the

In late 2006, some people picked a cdrtools version from September 2004 and 
started to "work" on the code. 

-	They removed the working DVD support code and replaced it with something
	half baken is a result of the trace actions of a french guy from 
	Mandriva on a cdrecord-ProDVD version from Autumn 2001. This however
	only contains SCSI commands that have been understood by this person...

-	The working autoconfiguration and build system has been removed and
	replaced by something that does not even work for all Linux platforms.
	Note that there is more than x86.

-	Instead of fixing bugs, a lot of new bugs have been introduced.

-	Copyright notices have been removed from the code. Note that these 
	removed	notes did help to identify many illegal closed source projects
	in the past that have been based on cdrtools.

-	Unlike the original source, the Debian based source cannot be called
	"complete source" (as required by the GPL) anymore and it does not
	compile on some Linux systems because of this missing code.

-	7 months lather (on May 6th 2007) all development action stopped.
	Well, there have been some typo fixes later to create the attempt of
	a maintained project, but bug reports are ignored.

But note that this is OSS and nobody is foced by the enemies of OpenSource 
in Debian or other Linux distros to use the Debian code.

...meanwhile, the original code has been improved a lot. The code base and the 
features did more than double since 2004.

The code has been checked by several lawyers and none of them could detect any 
legal problem in the original code.

Fine. For you wodim works. For others it does not. You want us to listen
to you but not to others? They anecdotes are useless, but yours are
useful? No, you have not experienced the problems. Others have. Open
your mind. You accuse Jorg of cherry picking evidence but so you are
justified for doing the same? Noone is forcing you to change. YOu are
happy with wodim. Keep using it. But do not elevate your experience to
the generic. 

Remember that you are using Jorg's software. If it works it is because
of him.

Ah so it is OK for him to take things out of context and twist them into 
non-sense.  When one lies and miss-represents the truth on purpose to 
elevate their cause ( what cause he seems to think he has) they should be 
called on it.
You see he did it again he comes here to introduce a battle and we now 
have one.

No I don't worship at the feet of jorg like you do

This is of cource complete nonsense!

This code has been created from the knowledge aquired by looking into the 
cdrtools source code.

How do you know this...
Show then evidence of this and not just clueless accusations.
This could have been a clean room effort.
You are not the only one that can come up with a solution to CD/DVD 
burning.
You are ridiculous.
This is just more postering by you....
When are you going to quit making a complete ass of yourself.

Your claim is ridiculous - a clean room implementation would be _vevry_ 
different from cdrecord. This is obviously not the case...

It seems that they recently started with a re-implementation of the Reed 
Solomon code for RAW CD writing, but former versions of "libburn" et. al.
did even incorporate original code from cdrtools.

Note that for many years Heiko Eißfeldt's Reed Solomon implementation was the 
only free implementation available. This code has been in use by several "GNU 
projects" that were unwilling to honor the license conditions.

Given the fact that there was no other free Reed Solomon implementation for 
CDs, I assume that even other newer Reed Solomon implementations did benefit 
from Heiko's implementation. The code that now is in cdrdao is definitely 
derived from Heiko's code even though it's author claims something different.

Really?

Would that explain that cdrskin interfaces the libburn api to the cdrecord 
interface...

I have the source code for libburn and cdrskin... Now give me the line 
number(s) of the code that was taken from your cdrtools.

If you can not then I will know that all you do is to talk out your ass,
Now that I would need more prove that.

A grep on the code has this which by the way the code was not written by 
you.

/* The following two functions were implemented according to
   doc/boot_sectors.txt section "SUN Disk Label and boot images" which
   was derived by Thomas Schmitt from
     cdrtools-2.01.01a77/mkisofs/sunlabel.h
     cdrtools-2.01.01a77/mkisofs/mkisofs.8
     by Joerg Schilling

   Both functions are entirely under copyright (C) 2010 Thomas Schmitt.
*/

So the libburn has NO CODE authored by you!

Prove me wrong!

From the AUTHORS text file

Vreixo Formoso
Mario Danic 
Vladimir Serbinenko
Thomas Schmitt

Oh look your name is missing!

Yap Yap Yap.

Now go way.  I need to burn a dvd without your nose up my ass,  I think I 
will use libburn.

Yes, what cause is it? He states that the user should try the cdrtools
to solve his problem. Apparently it did. He also states that cdrkit uses
and ancient (7 year old) version of cdrtools. It does. He states that
people have trouble with cdrkit. This thread bears testament to that. 

If at times he overstates his case ( he does) that differentiates him
little from you.

He is NOT introduce the battle. He came here to help someone who was
having trouble. He did. 
You are the key one who has decided to come riding onto the field to do
battle with him. Why? You admit to using his software (cdrkit) but then
state you would never use his software. Why?

>
> No I don't worship at the feet of jorg like you do

Worship at his feet? Another exageration from you. I believe that he
writes good software (as apparently do you as well. Even 7 year old
software works well for you) but stated that you would never use his
software because you do not like him. I will use good software no matter
who writes it, and will defend it as software.

No he came here to continue his rant against wodim.  If you look at my 
first post to him I simply state that he is not telling the truth, after 
which he starts his attacks.

For other rants see his nonsense he posted to the arch linux mailing 
list, where he was promptly handed his ass.  He is well known as you 
should be aware that he always gets into dick size wars where ever he 
shows up.

No you are one to defend him no matter what.  That is very plain.
I did not say I would never use his software that is a fabrication by you.
I said that I have used wodim and it is supplied by fedora in place of 
cdrtools.  Again if cdrkit (wodim) is as bad as you and him make it out 
to be then why do they ship it?  Surely they would not ship it if it was 
badly broken,  BTW they are not the only one shipping cdrkit as the 
default package, so are they all wrong too?

Wodim is shipped by enemies of OpenSource, distributions that do not care about 
the problems of their users.
