cdrtools @2.01.01a69_0+ not getting correct device info when using -msinfo switch

[pkutzner+macports@…]

cdrtools versions newer than 2.01.01a48_0 seem to exhibit behavior where it can't correctly get the device for recording when using the -msinfo switch. It will correctly burn a CD when using dev=IODVDServices, but will not get the next track information when using the same device, stating that it can't get the SCSI device information for device IODVDServices/0. This works correctly in version 2.01.01a48_0.

Check if version 3.00 still has this problem (#25157); if it does, you should report this to the developers.

How do I install v3.00 through macports? All I see is 2.01.01a78.

I have committed 3.00 now so you should be able to "sudo port selfupdate" and then "sudo port upgrade cdrtools".

It looks like this problem still exists in version 3.00. Here's a session showing the difference in output between version 2.01.01a48_0 and 3.00_0:

Ok, I recommend you report this problem to the developers of cdrtools for assistance. If they say we need to do something else when building cdrtools to fix this, let us know.
