Description Roland Bär 2005-03-30 01:12:10 UTC

app-cdr/cdrecord-prodvd depends on app-cdr/cdrtools but should depend on virtual/cdrtools.
- There are no conflicting names/files
- If virtual/cdrtools is dvdrtools, the user is free to compare and is able to use 
  the "other" tool in worst case

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

I don't think that this is a good idea.

cdrecord-prodvd is built an maintained by the same author of cdrtools.  These tools should work in combination.

dvdrtools is a quite early fork of cdrtools (version 1.11).  ATAPI-support has been backported lately to it.  I can't test the combination dvdrtools/cdrecord-prodvd on my own, as the cdrecord-prodvd-binaries are not shipped for my platform.

But, what does dvdrtools provide what cdrecord/cdrecord-prodvd can't provide?  The user should choose one combination, that fit his needs.  And currently everything than dvdrtools looks better.  I had some nasty problems with it (but that is another bug...).

This is a matter of freedom of choice.

Ok, will make appropriate test, then re-open
