[Kde-extra-gear] Re: Current status of CD Burners?

[Alex Podolsky]

Hi,

I did not respond the first time you asked, mostly because I did not
know how to proceed. The whole move of cdbakeoven to KDE was done in
hopes that it will become collectively developed/translated/etc. That
did not happen. And if that has not happened when cdbakeoven was part of
kdeutils, I really doubt that it'll happen in kde-extra-gear.


I will leave it up to you/Waldo to decide whether cdbakeoven should be 
moved to nonbeta or complitely removed.

Thanks,
Alex.
