[Debburn-devel] Keeping burnfree at default settings and common DRIVEROPTS

[Eduard Bloch]

Hello,

I would like to change the default behaviour WRT burnfree activation in
wodim. The current strategy is apparently the following:

 - check burnfree status of the drive
 - report it
 - disable it (for paket mode) or enable otherwise, reporting
   "Turning..." to user
 - compare "driveropts" with "burnfree" or "burnproof" (sic, a simple
   strcmp) or "noburnfree" or "noburnproof", store the setting
 - when writting begins, apply this setting and report again

So the drive defaults are basically ignored. And the user is confused. I
suggest:

 - get drive's default setting
 - for paket mode, set the setting to yes
 - change it depending on driveropts value
 - when writting begins, apply the setting and report the previous drive
   setting and the new selection ONCE

Further, I would introduce the shell variable/config setting called
CDR_DRIVEROPTS CDR_DRIVEROPTS_APPEND where common options (for all
drives) could be preset for all drives, or appended to the options
specified by the user later.

Eduard.
