Now i know the real story since i've been talking with Debian |
| 15 |
Maintainers. So there's isn't anything to say but we are working close |
| 16 |
to upstream and they actually offer commit access to maintainers of |
| 17 |
another distros. Cdrkit project sounds much more like an open project |
| 18 |
than cdrtools so i'll be with them. This was pretty much what happened |
| 19 |
with Xfree/Xorg. So cdrtools will be the "close" project and cdrkit the |
| 20 |
"open" project. Like i said before Gentoo joined this new project. |
| 21 |
Now the license problems are fixed and we can ship this on our portage |
| 22 |
tree tarballs for our new releases etc... |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The package is in the tree and it's asking for testing before i can |
| 25 |
remove it from pkg.mask and provide the cdrtools virtual. |
