It has been a long while since I heard him last time.

It would be nice if an executive decision were made regarding this
issue, since i've spent a fair amount of work on the gnome2 branch and
it'd be sad if it was all for naught. Manuel, can you take over the
project completely ? Or can we release from the gnome2 branch ? Or spin
off the project ? It will be difficult to make major changes to the
libdao.a layer without having an in-house SCSI specialist (which i'm
not), but certainly minor patches should be ok, and we can then
concentrate on new featurse to trackdb and gcdmaster.

Opinions ?

I would suggest that Manuel starts to commit the changes. If he doesn't
development is stopped. I have some little knowledge in SCSI programming and
may be of some help.

Ok, meanwhile we try to know what happened to Andreas, I think we can go 
this way:

1) Tag the current HEAD as "1.1.7-Andreas" or something
2) Merge Denis work into HEAD (both gcdmaster and cdrdao patches)
3) Then, tag HEAD as 1.1.8 and release (we should be tagging releases in 
the past)
4) Continue devel on HEAD (big changes on branches, as always)

Denis, can you take care of this all?

I just would like that patches that apply outside the xdao dir are sent 
first to the list. Denis, can you resend to the list the patches you 
sent to Andreas about cdrdao, before you merge them? This way Giuseppe 
will be able to take a look.

We need a to explain it all a bit in the release notes.

See you.

Ok, i'll do what you requested.

Another option we might want to consider is to spin off gcdmaster - and
gcdmaster only - into its own project. cdrdao would remain as it is
now, with an occasional patch request, and gcdmaster would either rely
on a pre-installed cdrdao or link straight with an included version of
libdao.a. The only advanatage i can think of this scenario would be to
give gcdmaster a little bit more exposure (?).

Just an idea, i don't have a strong opinion honestly.

Yes, I would agree with splitting it off into its own project.  Leave
CDRDAO as its own app.  I for one don't currently do X and would not
want to be required to have GTK and all that stuff installed just to
compile newer versions of cdrdao.  The zinf audio player is getting
that way and is not a good thing.

gcdmaster depends on the trackdb library. Perhaps we can make gcdmaster 
a module (not another project), so we release it separated from cdrdao, 
but we can still maintain the current cvs structure.

I think it is a good thing, but not a priority.
