No, thanks. Use app-cdr/cdrkit if you have troubles. (In reply to comment #1) > No, thanks. Use app-cdr/cdrkit if you have troubles. AFAIK this only avoids the message, not the cause. Schilling is certainly a difficult person, but when he says that there is a risk of buffer underrun (although this is certainly highly exaggerated and will work on fast computers in many cases anyway) I believe that he has the technical competence to judge this. Also in other cases, gentoo is upstream-oriented. So why not make it possible to install the package in the way upstream wants? > Also in other cases, gentoo is upstream-oriented.

Gentoo is a distribution of choice as well. Aplications such as iptraf, ntfs3g or xscreensaver have USE="suid", why not add it to cdrtools, if it fixes problem (makes cd burning possible)?

It avoids using a broken application; burning with root privs is stupid. If you feel the need to continue this debate, move it to Bug 116026. Installing something suid doesn't fix anything, the problem is elsewhere. (In reply to comment #4) > It avoids using a broken application; burning with root privs is stupid. I will not continue to debate. But reading such replies to a technically well justified requirement, I am beginning to understand why Schilling is often so upset. |
