Hi, |
| 2 |
|

I would like to hear your opinions about a new global |
| 4 |
USE-flag for DVD-writing, called dvdr. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
We just ran into the problem, that we have USE-flags for cdr |
| 7 |
and dvd, but both won't fit DVD-writing. The dvd-USE-flag |
| 8 |
is mostly for DVD-readonly-usage. So, if we use the |
| 9 |
dvd-USE-flag together with cdrtools or xcdroast, a huge |
| 10 |
number of users would install to much software and only a |
| 11 |
small number of users could benefit from them. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
For the moment we have two packages that would make use of |
| 14 |
a dvdr-USE-flag: |
| 15 |
- cdrtools |
| 16 |
- xcdroast |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Maybe there are more applications I don't know of, but |
| 19 |
mostly they are directly based on the cdrtools. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
At the moment there is a fork of the cdrtools in portage, |
| 22 |
called cdrtools-dvdr. This package would become deprecated |
| 23 |
with a dvdr-USE-flag as it is the same like the cdrtools, |
| 24 |
but with a special patch for DVD-writing. This could be |
| 25 |
better handled by a USE-flag. |
| 26 |
