Request: GnomeBaker 0.4

[UbuWu]

I think that cd burning deserves it own specialized program.
It's not such a trivial task as moving files to a disk or usb.
Each failed cd costs money and the only kind of cd that I
dare to use with an integrated burner is rw.

Me too, but the current idea (at least for breezy it is) of the developers is to have different ways for different kinds of cd-burning tasks, not one central cd-burning app. I even proposed on the development mailing list to replace serpentine with gnomebaker, but this request was quickly deferred. I hope the next version after breezy will have a cd burning app.

There were good reasons, by the way, earlier not to use gnomebaker. It needed a lot more new dependencies to be in main. But since the latest version of gnomebaker (0.4) uses gstreamer, this is not the case anymore.

Gnomebaker can do things that the current Breezy way of burning cannot. Gnomebaker does not have to be intalled by default since the major burning tasks can already be done with the proposed applications in Breezy. But Gnomebaker needs to be included in the official repositories.

so what is the best way for me to use 0.4 today?
Installing it from the Gnomebaker page?
I'd like to get rid of K3b and would love to have the FLAC support that 0.4 offers.

I'd say try to compile it; it compiled fine for me but I didn't try all the features.

i tried to compile it and found out i am missing a bunch of libraries that are required.

Install the dev packages as needed from Synaptic...

Or just use the Debian package or alien an rpm. Also, maybe you did not see it, but someone already made a deb for Ubuntu above.

Yes it's too bad Gnomebaker is defintely the best cd burner i've used on any platform, ESPECIALLY windows (horibble nero!)

It's in breezy now.

Backporting it should be no problem now and if you want to build it yourself:
Adding the breezy deb-src entries to sources.list, getting the sources with apt-get source gnomebaker and than compiling it with dpkg-buildpkg worked like a charm for me.
