I agree it was not a nice rant, but it's not an irrelevant opinion, because Schilling -let's say- idiosyncratic personality, has led, as Alexander pointed out, to the disapperance of cdrecord from most Linux distros and its substitution with cdrkit, for example. The problem is that of a tool that for licence etc. problems could be easily be dropped from a distribution. It's of a relatively unreliable developer (or, better stated, of unrealiable relationships between the dev and the community). Given this, I would think twice before substituting tar with a Schilling tool. The cdrecord scar is still painfu= l. m. --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
