Hi,

Yes why not.

I have taken the existing ebuild, patched a few problems with it, and updated it to the latest version of mkcdrec from the project website.  I'll attach the new ebuild.  I haven't had much of a chance to test it, but `mkcdrec menu' brings up a menu and it seems to start off right.  Give it a try if you're still interested.

New ebuild for =app-backup/mkcdrec-0.9.6.

Here is the new ebuild for mkcdrec.

Upstream appears to be dead, there hasn't been a new release since 2012 - which along with the lack of support for ext4 (or btrfs for that matter) and UEFI as well as there being no mention of supporting USB boot, implies this tool might be of limited usefulness on modern systems.

Anyway, is there still any interest in adding this to the tree? If not, we shall close this ticket in 30 days.
