[gentoo-dev] xcdroast works again, -n parameter needed

[Dan Armak]

Hi all,

I've fixed a bug in the cdrtools ebuilds, now they install the readcd binary 
correctly. xcdroast will now work again (it hadn't since we replaced 
app-cdr/cdrecord with cdrtools).

However, for it to start the -n parameter is needed, which turns off cdrecord 
version checking. Otherwise it won't start unless a cdrecord of a specific 
version number, which is hardcoded into the source code, can be located.

I don't know of any problems that may be caused by using a newer version of 
cdrecord than the one it wants, but there may have been a good reason to make 
it work that way. If we ascertain that it works OK with the newer versions, 
we'll need to to decide on a way to tell users to use the -n flag, or even to 
patch the source to make it unnecessary. Info? Ideas?
