Hi! I finally got too annoyed by the broken cdrecord package in Edgy (which more or less the same than the one in sid), so FYI I did a small patch (attached) to make it work as non-root again. While I agree that this is by no way a 'good' patch, it at least makes burning work again. And, after all, previous upstream versions (without the EPERM check) worked just fine after all...
Thanks, Martin -- Martin Pitt http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com Debian Developer http://www.debian.org In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?
