* '''Launchpad Entry''': https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/cdrkit * '''Created''': <> by LucaFalavigna * '''Contributors''': LucaFalavigna * '''Packages affected''': cdrecord, mkisofs, cdda2wav == Summary == cdrkit is a brand new suite of programs (based on cdrtools) released under GNU GPL. == Rationale == cdrtools author Jörg Schilling recently released parts of his software suite for CD burning under [[http://www.opensource.org/licenses/cddl1.php|CDDL license]], which is incompatible with GNU GPL license, as clearly [[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html|stated]] by Free Software Foundation. So, Debian developers have released a fork of cdrtools suite named [[http://debburn.alioth.debian.org/|cdrkit]] in order to replace Shilling's original software. == Scope == This specification covers the transition from cdrtools to cdrkit. == Implementation == This suite is still on heavy development, so we should follow [[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=cdrkit&archive=no&version=&dist=unstable|Debian cdrkit bug report]] for a while and do a very accurate testing phase before releasing a stable version. == Links == * [[http://debburn.alioth.debian.org/|cdrkit packages]] * [[http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/09/msg00002.html|Debian devel cdrkit announce]] * [[http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/23/267|Discussions about cdrtools and the Linux kernel]] * [[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=cdrkit&archive=no&version=&dist=unstable|Debian cdrkit bug report]] == BoF agenda and discussion == ---- CategorySpec
