Release Notes: cdrtools is now at version 3.01a14, and now supports root-less operation on Linux using fcaps. #include file reordering was undertaken to avoid warnings on older platforms. Job processing code was moved from smake/make.c to smake/job.c. A typo in include/schily/stat.h that caused setting of nanoseonds in timestamps to be impossible for NetBSD and OpenBSD was fixed.

Release Notes: This release fixes a problem in star with "star --xattr -find relative_path ..." smake has been bumped to version 1.2.3. Avoids a false GCC warning when compiling the termcap program. The man page sccsfile.4 has been rewritten to make it easier to understand. cdrtools has been bumped to version 3.01a12. The UDF implementation in mkisofs has been enhanced to support all typical UNIX file types, all three timestamps in microsecond granularity, the suid/sgid/sticky file flags, and correct credentials for symlinks.

Release Notes: A bug introduced in the last smake version that caused empty command lines to fail was fixed. A bug in the Bourne Shell that may cause PATH to be ignored if it ends in ':' was fixed. Cdrtools was bumped to version 3.01a11 and Star to version 1.5.2.

Release Notes: This release optimizes command execution to help systems with slow fork() (like Cygwin). Smake now may be compiled to enforce the Bourne Shell as default SHELL to speed up work on Cygwin. A workaround for Cygwin-1.7.17 and newer has been added, and handles the missing PACKED definition and the incompatible change related to BOOL in windef.h. The Schily Makefilesystem now defines $(SPACE) and $(NUMBER_SIGN), characters that usually cannot appear in Makefiles. cpp now includes a pre-yacced cpy.y to allow to create a fully functional binary on Systems without yacc (such as Cygwin and HP-UX).

Found out the problem. The drive was disconnected while live and reconnected. I was securing the connection. But then I still had to symlink /dev/sr0 to /dev/pg0 for -scanbus to work.
cdrecord works well in Linux. Just had a problem with it, however, recognizing the ide cdrom on my system: debian wheezy i386 eserver xseries 345. The laptop ide drive is configured as /dev/sr1 instead of /dev/sr0 for some reason and I had to set symlink /dev/sr1 to /dev/pg0 for the -scanbus option to work. Never have had this problem since have been using cdrtools for the last twelve years or so. But it still works better than anything out there. Great program!
Thanks, Joerg!
If you for any reason believe that the GPL is non-free, please tag your comments to the related GPL projects. The CDDL however is an approved OSS license and thus does not limit you in any way. You of course can use CDDL programs for any purpose.
With a CDDL tool set, you can't write GPL programs, so it's useless.
I notice it says "Windows" yet it's a tarball. So I gather there isn't a windows installer ? Does one need cygwin installed for it to work on Windows ? Thanks.
