    Infra recorder for ubuntu?

    Infra recorder is open source, why it isn't available for ubuntu?

    Why would you want it? Ubuntu has a CD burning software installed by default. It's called Brasero.

    I guess if you did want it on Linux, you could try some hacking. After all, that's the beauty of Open Source, is it not?

    Open source ≠ cross platform

    Ah, but Open Source = Open Source = Code anyone can freely use and edit = a lot easier for someone to transfer to another OS.

    Infra was my disc burner of choice back in the Windows days. I haven't tried Brasero yet on Linux but I have no doubt it's just fine. Disc burners are just disc burners, you can't really go wrong. People always complain when an open-source software isn't on Linux, but open-source software can be completely developed and run on a closed-source OS, Paint.NET for example.

    would you please move this thread to the packaging and compiling section? I just realized that some people can package it!

    Merci

    I got it to install via wine, but it said I did not have a cd burner. Close though.

    Well, nobody's bothered to port it since programs like K3B and Brasero are just as good or better. K3B is great

    Because it does not run on linux! The APIs for burning discs are soo different under linux than under windows that a port would be a pretty major rewrite, and tools like k3b already exist that interact with the linux API.
