Bug Description

Binary package hint: dvd+rw-tools

dvd+rw-tools version 6.1 was released in January 2006, however Dapper ships with version 5.21, which is nearly 2 years old. 5.21 lacks the ability to burn double layer dvds. Ubuntu should upgrade it's dvd+rw-tools package to 6.1.

Debian unstable has latest version. So hopefully it will make to Edgy and dapper-backports if possible.

dapper-backports is watching this bug. We will await Edgy packages and then package away :)

Already in Edgy -- will evaluate the backport.

Wonder if anything will break as far as the dvd+rw-tools frontends are concerned :-/

Test backport Edit (136.9 KiB, application/x-debian-package)

Attached is a deb backported from Edgy. Please test thoroughly, including the various DVD burning frontends, like nautilus-cd-burner, graveman/gnomebaker, k3b, etc etc etc that use dvd+rw-tools.

I compiled from source and replaced the original binary installed by Dapper. I typically use growisofs from the command line, but I did burn a few discs with nautilus-cd-burner. If there's nobody else to test k3b, I'll install that too.

I'll install the attached .deb and report those results later.

New dvd+rw-tools already in Edgy. I think we can close the ubuntu side of the bug report.

Oops forgot to subscribe -archive -- retested backporting most recent feisty dvd+rw-tools and it still works fine. Approved.
