This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. I've forwarded this request to cdrkit upstream (http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debburn-devel/2011-January/000825.html). I recommend people who like to use this library interface to use the maintained original software instead of a questionable fork that is dead since 4 years. Cdrkit is still alive. The last version was released in October 2010 and development continues further. cdrkit uses a variant of libscg that is known to be full of bugs. Since May 2007, nothing has been done on the code, so we can safely call it dead. There is no development in the fork, it did not even ever try to fix one of the eprox. 100 well known bugs. Redhat just removes the bug entries from it's database without fixing the bugs. They are still there.... Created attachment 479497 [details]

new spec file proposed
A new spec file is proposed with the patch above. It adds a new subpackage libusal-devel in order to install libusal.a and header files.
libusal.a is installed into /usr/lib or /usr/lib64, libusal/usal/*.h files are installed into /usr/include/usal/.
Adrian, could you try the patch and spec file to see, if it fulfills your requirments?

A new build is proposed on http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=230556 In this build libusal.a and librols.a are installed together with libusal's header files. librols.a contains some general functions used by libusal.a. I'm planning to push this build into F15, but not F14 or older any more. Created attachment 480770 [details]
Simple test of usal library.
This is a simple test of libusal. You can compile it using
gcc -o usaltest usaltest.c -lusal -lrols
It should print a status of /dev/cdrom to stdout. For example:
status: 0x0 (GOOD STATUS)
