Hi J?rg Thanks for the email. I can't answer the question regarding the reasons behind wanting to add them as I wasn't involved but I do know that wodim, icedax, genisoimage and readom will not be included. From what I am aware however the remaining programs from cdrtools/cdrkit are not in solaris (cdda2ogg, devdump, dirsplit, isodebug, isodump, isoinfo, isovfy and readmult) and so may be added. Do you have any suggestions about these?
