Overview of libburn.pykix.org
|

|

libburn.pykix.org is an open-source library for reading, mastering and writing
|

optical discs. For now this means only CD-R and CD-RW.

Overview of libburnia.pykix.org
|
||||
|
||||
libburnia.pykix.org is an open-source software project for reading, mastering
|
||||
and writing optical discs. For now this means only CD-R and CD-RW.
|
||||
|
||||
The project comprises of several more or less interdependent parts which
|
||||
together strive to be a usable foundation for application development.
|
||||
These are libraries, language bindings, and middleware binaries which emulate
|
||||
classical (and valuable) Linux tools.
|
||||
|
||||
Our scope is currently Linux 2.4 and 2.6 and we will have a hard time to widen
|
||||
this for now, because of our history. The project could need advise from or
|
||||
membership of skilled kernel people and people who know how to talk CD/DVD
|
||||
drives into doing things.
|
||||
Our scope is currently Linux 2.4 and 2.6 only. For ports to other systems
|
||||
we would need : login on a development machine resp. a live OS on CD or DVD,
|
||||
advise from a system person about the equivalent of Linux sg or FreeBSD CAM,
|
||||
volunteers for testing of realistic use cases.
|
||||
|
||||
We do have a workable code base for burning data CDs, though. The burn API is
|
||||
quite comprehensively documented and can be used to build a presentable
|
||||
application.
|
||||
We do have a functional binary which emulates parts of cdrecord in order to
|
||||
prove that usability, and in order to allow you to explore libburn's scope
