Yes, wodim is in main and technically graveman is a front end to wodim (though graveman is not currently in main) but isn't very natively ported to wodim and therefore throws false error messages because it is "unable to communicate with cdrecord" (which is technically true because wodim replaced cdrecord, but its still annoying) and i don't really know how much it would take to: 1) get graveman native to wodim 2) get graveman into main I'm not entirely sure starting our own frontend for wodim is necessarily a bad idea, but at the same time i don't know if it would be necessary because its very possible we could direct our efforts to either maintaining/patching another package/application and getting it promoted to main. -Adam <div>On 7/9/07, vidd <<a href="mailto:vidd@crosslink.net">vidd@crosslink.net</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Adam Miller wrote: > I have spoken with a core-dev on this matter and it basically boils > down to stability, upstream development, and maintenance.

I would assume that if K3B is in main, and depends on wodim, it would stand to reason that wodim is in main as well. vidd > > On 7/8/07, *Vincent* <<a href="mailto:imnotb@gmail.com">imnotb@gmail.com</a> <mailto:<a href="mailto:imnotb@gmail.com">imnotb@gmail.com</a>>> wrote: > > > > On 08/07/07, *Ronnie Whisler* < <a href="mailto:mrwislr@gmail.com">mrwislr@gmail.com</a> > <mailto:<a href="mailto:mrwislr@gmail.com">mrwislr@gmail.com</a>>> wrote: > > you said it a CD BURNER not a DVD BURNER > > > Sorry, of course I meant that you can still buy a DVD burner ;-) > > On 7/8/07, *Vincent* < <a href="mailto:imnotb@gmail.com"> imnotb@gmail.com</a> > <mailto:<a href="mailto:imnotb@gmail.com">imnotb@gmail.com</a>>> wrote: > > > > On 08/07/07, *Ronnie Whisler* <<a href="mailto:mrwislr@gmail.com"> mrwislr@gmail.com</a> > <mailto:<a href="mailto:mrwislr@gmail.com">mrwislr@gmail.com</a>>> wrote: > > try to remember that xubuntu is designed for older > machines and to be lightweight most older machines do > not have a dvd burner. > > > Isn't Xubuntu designed to be fast and light-weight?
