[13:41] 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 [13:42] I wish I had one off the top of my head to tell you :) [13:42] gcdmaster :) [13:42] Doesn't seem to be on that list [13:43] It has a maintainer Christian Hübschi [13:43] huebschi.christian@gmail.com [13:43] sounds ominous. [13:44] does that mean someone is actually updating it or that it is just being used for cdrdao? [13:44] Here's a list of packages up for adoption http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/rfa_bypackage [13:44] It jsut means it's considered to be maintained [13:44] If it's not being maintained, it should probably be orphaned [13:44] Well cdrdao is being maintained and there is a package [13:45] it is just being build without the GUI [13:45] (which it does automatically if it can't find the right libs) [13:47] cdrdao is actually orphaned [13:48] Same maintainer [13:48] gcdmaster is a part of that [13:49] cdrdao once is used by a number of other projects... including ardour [13:49] though not directly [13:49] To me it seems it's the other way around [13:50] gcdmaster depends on cdrdao [13:50] how so? [13:50] yes [13:50] k3b, ardour and others also depend on cdrdao [13:51] not as a depend, but the workflow depends on it [13:51] I don't think there is any other disk at once cd writer, is there? [13:52] I'll think about taking this on. I'll put it on a list [13:52] I can't get cdrdao once to build even, but I am not using the package from ubuntu or debian. [13:53] I am using the tarball [13:53] The needed libs for gcdmaster are still in repo BY the way. [14:47] 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 [14:48] 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 [15:01] len-1304: I just applied for Debian Multimedia Team membership [15:02] OK, I thought you had already :) good [15:03] 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 [15:04] I'll be taking over maintenance for cdrdao and maybe gcdmaster as well [15:04] They are both the saem package. [15:04] to begin with [15:04] They are not [15:05] Not in Debian, anyway [15:05] ah, no [15:05] I see [15:05] I never checked the source package [15:13] 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 [15:14] Just reading the cdrtools (the cdrecord page) [15:14] It appears that cdrkit is also unmaintained [15:15] My look at the cdrkit page seems to confirm that [15:15] cdrkit has not been touched since 2007 [15:18] zequence, ubuntu and debian use cdrkit. It also appears unmaintained. Soon there will be no cd writing packages :) [15:21] Last commit to cdrkit on Debian was 2010 [15:21] By a former Debian project lead [15:21] That was upstream though [15:21] Last debian changelog entry is 2011 [15:47] I was just gong by their web page [15:48] The last release was old [15:49] Ya 2010 [15:49] I'm looking at too many pages. [15:50] Anyway, there are still some issues with cdrkit in some modes. [15:51] 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] k3b tries to do this by default. [15:52] I am told cdrecord works this way. [16:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5658652/ [17:10] 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
