It depends on cdrecord-prodvd, which means that it will have to be |
| 4 |
converted to use the new cdrtools if it's to continue being useful since |
| 5 |
cdrecord-prodvd is being masked (and some time thereafter, removed). |

Not having recent updates is one thing, but with a dead upstream, there |
| 9 |
is no place to send security patches or bug fixes or add new |
| 10 |
functionality as needed, etc. (Unless of course, someone were to fork |
| 11 |
the current codebase and pick up where they left off.) |

There is K3b (a Qt app), Graveman (a GTK2 app), NeroLinux (GTK+ 1.x, |
| 15 |
non-Free), GnomeBaker (GTK2/GNOME) and probably several others which |
| 16 |
provide the same functionality yet are actively maintained and supported |
| 17 |
with a proper upstream. |
