Well, yeah, schily's idiosyncrasies are rather famous. :-)

=46wiw, Ivo, you could always submit a slave-port to cdrtools (or even a=20
completely new port) that uses those patches and produces a cdrtools-redhat=
=20
package, which CONFLICTS with cdrtools. That package could act as a drop-in=
=20
replacement for cdrtools for anyone who really wants it and the rest of the=
=20
world would never get it, which is probably in schily's best interest as we=
ll=20
(as he's mostly annoyed by supporting code he didn't write).
