Ebuilds for app-cdr/graveman install dvd+rw-tools if the USE flag "dvd" is defined. But, according to use.desc: dvd - Adds support for DVDs dvdr - Adds support for DVD writer hardware (e.g. in xcdroast) Which usually means that USE="dvd" gets you DVD read capability for mplayer, xine-lib etc. and USE="dvdr" gets you DVD write capability in the likes of xcdroast. I, for example, have a 'read-only' DVD-drive, and I need the USE="dvd" for mplayer and xine, but installing dvd+rw-tools would be utterly useless. So as a cosmetic enhancement, I think the USE flag in graveman should be changed to dvdr instead. Thank you :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
You are fully correct. That's the purpose of the dvdr USE-flag. I changed it in both graveman-versions.
