The hard way only for your system: pkgname=cdrecord _pkgname=cdrtools ... conflicts=('cdrkit' 'cdrtools') provides=('cdrkit') ... I have no cdrkit here because i don't need it and i don't need the sysmlinks inside of the package. > 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? I change the permissions in the install file in this way: /bin/echo "Change Owner, Group and Permission to root.optical (4710) ..." for n in /usr/bin/cdrecord \ /usr/bin/readcd \ /usr/bin/cdda2wav; do /bin/chown -v root:optical $n && /bin/chmod -v 4710 $n; done /bin/echo "done.
