| zequence | len-1304: I'm looking at orphanded Debian packages, to see if there's something worth maintaining, as a step towards learning packaging http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/orphaned | 13:41 |
|---|---|---|
| len-1304 | I wish I had one off the top of my head to tell you :) | 13:42 |
| len-1304 | gcdmaster :) | 13:42 |
| zequence | Doesn't seem to be on that list | 13:42 |
| zequence | It has a maintainer Christian Hübschi | 13:43 |
| zequence | huebschi.christian@gmail.com | 13:43 |
| len-1304 | sounds ominous. | 13:43 |
| len-1304 | does that mean someone is actually updating it or that it is just being used for cdrdao? | 13:44 |
| zequence | Here's a list of packages up for adoption http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/rfa_bypackage | 13:44 |
| zequence | It jsut means it's considered to be maintained | 13:44 |
| zequence | If it's not being maintained, it should probably be orphaned | 13:44 |
| len-1304 | Well cdrdao is being maintained and there is a package | 13:44 |
| len-1304 | it is just being build without the GUI | 13:45 |
| len-1304 | (which it does automatically if it can't find the right libs) | 13:45 |
| zequence | cdrdao is actually orphaned | 13:47 |
| zequence | Same maintainer | 13:48 |
| len-1304 | gcdmaster is a part of that | 13:48 |
| len-1304 | cdrdao once is used by a number of other projects... including ardour | 13:49 |
| len-1304 | though not directly | 13:49 |
| zequence | To me it seems it's the other way around | 13:49 |
| zequence | gcdmaster depends on cdrdao | 13:50 |
| len-1304 | how so? | 13:50 |
| len-1304 | yes | 13:50 |
| len-1304 | k3b, ardour and others also depend on cdrdao | 13:50 |
| len-1304 | not as a depend, but the workflow depends on it | 13:51 |
| len-1304 | I don't think there is any other disk at once cd writer, is there? | 13:51 |
| zequence | I'll think about taking this on. I'll put it on a list | 13:52 |
| len-1304 | I can't get cdrdao once to build even, but I am not using the package from ubuntu or debian. | 13:52 |
| len-1304 | I am using the tarball | 13:53 |
| len-1304 | The needed libs for gcdmaster are still in repo BY the way. | 13:53 |
| len-1304 | zequence, cdrecord does do some DAO recording (the cdrkit page on the other hand just says it is a fork but has almost no documentation at all) using .cue files | 14:47 |
| len-1304 | I do not know if cue files allow all the features that .toc files allow... or for that matter if ardour uses all the features cdrdao provides | 14:48 |
| zequence | len-1304: I just applied for Debian Multimedia Team membership | 15:01 |
| len-1304 | OK, I thought you had already :) good | 15:02 |
| zequence | I was waiting. Was going to work on bug fixing and such first, but it seemed like now was a good time as my packaging skills have improved that much | 15:03 |
| zequence | I'll be taking over maintenance for cdrdao and maybe gcdmaster as well | 15:04 |
| len-1304 | They are both the saem package. | 15:04 |
| zequence | to begin with | 15:04 |
| zequence | They are not | 15:04 |
| zequence | Not in Debian, anyway | 15:05 |
| zequence | ah, no | 15:05 |
| zequence | I see | 15:05 |
| zequence | I never checked the source package | 15:05 |
| zequence | Made a mistake about cdrdao. Not considered a multimedia package. There's one team that deals with cdr-tools, and is a fairly small team | 15:13 |
| len-1304 | Just reading the cdrtools (the cdrecord page) | 15:14 |
| len-1304 | It appears that cdrkit is also unmaintained | 15:14 |
| len-1304 | My look at the cdrkit page seems to confirm that | 15:15 |
| len-1304 | cdrkit has not been touched since 2007 | 15:15 |
| len-1304 | zequence, ubuntu and debian use cdrkit. It also appears unmaintained. Soon there will be no cd writing packages :) | 15:18 |
| zequence | Last commit to cdrkit on Debian was 2010 | 15:21 |
| zequence | By a former Debian project lead | 15:21 |
| zequence | That was upstream though | 15:21 |
| zequence | Last debian changelog entry is 2011 | 15:21 |
| len-1304 | I was just gong by their web page | 15:47 |
| len-1304 | The last release was old | 15:48 |
| len-1304 | Ya 2010 | 15:49 |
| len-1304 | I'm looking at too many pages. | 15:49 |
| len-1304 | Anyway, there are still some issues with cdrkit in some modes. | 15:50 |
| len-1304 | It seems to work fine if the image is first written to disk, but has problems doing on the fly writing... taking a collection of files and writing them to a dvd without making an image first. | 15:51 |
| len-1304 | k3b tries to do this by default. | 15:51 |
| len-1304 | I am told cdrecord works this way. | 15:52 |
| ubuntu-studio | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5658652/ | 16:49 |
| zequence | When I added the PromptOnLogout, it worked once. then each time I tried clicking the menu i never got the menu. It would jsut logout | 17:10 |
