k3b on Centos 5

[John Pilkington]

Hi Rex: k3b 1.0.4-7 from the el5 kde-redhat-testing repo often hangs for
me immediately after burning a dvd when 'burn verify' is enabled - which
is my main reason for using k3b. This has been reported on non-RH
related distros too. My other kde packages are fully updated from
kde-redhat for el5.

The k3b site now has 1.0.5 which might fix this. Any hope?

Thanks for the packages,

John Pilkington

I can build it, sure. I don't think 1.0.5 has fixes related to what you
describe, but it's worth a try.

OK, built for el4/el5, pushed to testing.

... and k3b 1.0.5 seems to have solved this problem: 9 dvd
burn-and-verify sessions so far without a hitch. From k3b home
(http://k3b.plainblack.com/), this is one of the three bugfixes:

Always wait for the drive to become ready before starting verification
(this should fix some of the problems with failed verification where K3b
claims that no medium is in the drive.)

-although I never saw it make this claim before. Now I do, very briefly.

Thanks again. John P
