[Pkg-opt-media-team] reducing dvd+rw-tools bug log

[George Danchev]

Hi,

While tracing a problem with libburn (#567056) I found out that there
are few similar problems reported against dvd+rwt-tools's growisofs:
562983, 277662, 291304. Do you hve any rough idea about the possible
reasons of these symptoms?

Since chances are that these packages have common sources of problems,
it makes sense to have a look at each others bug logs. While looking at
yours I found out that your bug record could be improved, since there
are a lot of unaddressed/unanswered bug which are already dealt with
upstream or easy to complete.

#272645 - already dealt with in recent upstream releases.

#276701 - these are useful for debugging indeed and should be
relatively easy to complete having a look at growisofs.c or asking
upstream a well.

#276702 - this makes sense and should be easy to implement or ask
upstream as well. I might have a deeper look at it, too.

#565874 - I agree with that completely. I can also add that xorriso
can do iso fs manipulations, and could serve as a replacement except
for UDF manipulations which is not supported yet. So it makes sense to
pester upstream to consider it as an alternative at least.

So, I'm interested to help you handle your long bug log as much as I
can, as I believe that libburnia packages would benefit from
well maintained dvd+rw-tools package and via versa, that would help
to track common source of problems, at least. So, let me know how you
prefer to get helped (via BTS, co-maint, whatever), however it is best
if you take care of addressing at least some of the bugs already reported.

Thank you.
