There was a project takeover at some point (some unknown guy suddenly announced a project revival and a new web site at libburn.pykix.org, not minding that the project was still active...) which instead resulted in a fork called libburnia which integrates a cdrecord-like frontend. I'm not sure how usable it is, but it's certainly far from being as mature as cdrtools (or cdrkit.)
Yes, this is what is in Extras right now, I packaged it up at the request of these folks. http://libburnia.pykix.org/ is the "new" URL now.
Heh. I've been the maintainer of the real libburn (http://icculus.org/burn/) for another distro for a long time, and the forker claimed that my package was broken since it referenced the "old" URL of the project.
That was after calling for project revival[0] and after the libburn project leader dismissed it[1]. It's cool that they now switched to another name, perhaps the Fedora package could do the same.
They've been progressing quite well from what I can tell. Sure, probably not ready for Fedora by F7, but something to investigate by more knowledgeable people.
Agreed. The idea of a generic CD-writing library seems like a worthy long-term goal, but for FL7, cdrkit, being a free drop-in replacement of S(ch)illy's programs, could probably do the trick.
