Hi,

k3b depends on genisoimage, a cdrecord-replacement from "wodim".
wodim and genisoimage are effectively unmaintained since many years.

Please switch to xorriso instead, which has a cdrecord mode, and is
actively maintained.

It'd be good to get rid of genisoimage/wodim for forky.

Hi,

I installed  xorriso, but I do not see it inside k3b programs.

I can switch on  : cdrdao, cdrecord, dvd+rw-format, growisofts, mkisofs,
readcd, vcdxbuild,vcdxminfo,vcdxrip.

But nn xorriso.

Regards
