[quote] For Ubuntu, cdrtools is in multiverse... [/quote] according to packages.ubuntu.com cdrtools isn´t in the archive since edgy and even in edgy it is only a transitional package only iirc. [quote] The Gentoo Linux ebuild for cdrkit installs symlinks to provide compatibility with applications looking for old cdrtools binaries: /usr/bin/cdda2wav -> /usr/bin/icedax /usr/bin/cdrecord -> /usr/bin/wodim /usr/bin/mkisofs -> /usr/bin/genisoimage /usr/bin/readcd -> /usr/bin/readom + a few more (manpages, etc) Seems to work fine because, as you say, the cdrkit binaries take the same options, and using symlinks saves on patching all the other applications depending on cdrtools. [/quote] in the light of the above i think this is the easiest way. -- bye Thilo key: 0x4A411E09 -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
