It's not. Merging support for burncd, a completely unportable and platform= =20 specific burning backend into a tool that's supposed to be portable (and=20 therefore supports _portable_ backends) however is a wonky idea.=20 If you want burncd (or any other mainstream burning utility) to support the= =20 cd-writing facilities of ata(4), submit patches for cdrecord. If you want to improve ease of use of k3b on FreeBSD, consider working on a= =20 setup-assistant similar to the one k3b feature for Linux, which helps=20 endusers to adjust device permissions and make other system configuration=20 changes necessary for burning. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --nextPart1300613.bJFOES3jqB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBSGksXhc68WspdLARAg6oAJ4234YZoH0gjdlpaxsAQyr8Ih6faQCfbg+7 m4WrRqD2FPOlk34pCLAshv8= =Khz5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1300613.bJFOES3jqB--
