Re: An old, tiresome discussion: cdrtools vs cdrkit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,
Atleast, you have my vote, I building cdrtools from AUR as we speak.
there is no point of using unmaintned software.

Anyone,
How can we setup cdrtools to completely replace cdrkit so that other
programs like k3b can use seamlessly ? Any guides, I didn't find
anything on ArchLinux Wiki which is kinda strange.

One more thing
cdrtools required it to be run as root, isn't that dangerous. any
method by which we give the required permissions to normal user?
