Hi Kevin,
could you explain your idea?
Why do you like to add an unmaintained and buggy fork of cdrtools
into Solaris while the maintained original software is in Solaris since a
long time?
wodim is the result of a personal campaign against OpenSource driven by "Eduard
Bloch" at Debian.
The wodim "fork" started in September 2006 as part of an anti-CDDL campaign at
Debian after Debian has become aware of Nexenta.
- They first replaced the working build system by something that did
not even work correctly on Linux
- They then mainly worked on the self created bugs.
- At May 6th 2007, "development" was completely shut down after Eduard
Bloch left the project because he has been told to do so by his new
employer. There are rumors that the new boss of Eduard Bloch is in fear
of the possible negative impression on his company if his company is
seen in relation with Eduard Bloch as the creator of an anti OSS
campaign.
The "edits" in the "project" done past May 6th 2007 look like they
have been done to pretend activity.
- The current wodim version is still full of bugs that never have been
in the original.
If you like to get an impression on the quality, see the e.g. following
bugreports:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=cdrkit
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrkit
None of these Bugs applies to the original software.....
Note that wodim is based on a very outdated version (> three years old) of
cdrtools. It does not implement any feature that is not in the original
software.
For more information, you may like to look at:

As you show interest in wodim you must have become the victim of disinformation.
Could help me to find the related source of disinformation?
