Comment 4 for bug 316500

Why should someone use cdrskin as long as there is a maintained
working version of the original cdrtools?

BTW: There are many problems with wodim:

- it is based on a very old version of cdrtools (~ 4 years)

- it's maintainers added plenty of bugs because these people do not grok
  enough from SCSI passthrough coding and confused well designed features
  with so called "bugs". While "fixing" these so called "bugs", they introduced
  many of the well known problems.

- It's maintainers do not understand the problems in the hald implementation.
  This is the actual problem from the current bug report

- the named fork is in conflict with Copyright and GPL and cannot be legally
  distributed.

The original version of cdrtools however does not have any of the named
problems. It is well maintained and did add a lot of new and very interesting
features during the past years.

Note that there was an agreement with Debian on March 6th 2009 with the
help from Simon Phipps (Sun). Debian will include the original cdrtools again
very soon.
