I didn't know cdrkit was unmaintained, I read it someday in the past
but, after that, seemed that newer bumps were released by upstream
(latest release is 1.1.9 from 2008/10/26)

I am also using it as a lot of common distributions have switched to it
from cdrtools recently, but maybe I could revert it if you really think
cdrtools is better now

Thanks for the info
