Description
cdrdao 1.2.2 is having problems compiling on the current 6.5 base. It has the same problem as cdrtools with the Glibc conflicts, except a simple redefinition doesn't solve it. 1.2.3rc2 requires neither the Glibc corrections or the gcc 4.3 patch. I had to add in an include for stdio.h, but other than that it appears to work just fine. What are the opinions on using this version?

Unfortunately cdrdao doesn't really have a schedule, and the rc2 is the only one I can find. Considering that 1.2.2 was released over 2 years ago I'm not incredibly confident about a release soon. It's mainly just bugfixes, so there shouldn't really be any issues with stability. I've contacted the current maintainer to ask for a release date, and I shall provide this information if I receive it.

When distros are able to patch the current release to solve a problem, and the next release isn't available, I usually prefer to apply patches. In this case, a quick google suggests there are patches out there (e.g. lunar linux, fedora).
For fedora, it looks as if a very simple patch fixes it
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/cdrdao/F-11/cdrdao-1.2.2-gcc44.patch?view=co
lunar has a *much* longer patch cdrdao-1.2.2-gcc-4.4.x.patch.bz2 found at http://de.lunar-linux.org/lunar/patches/
I'm still on gcc-4.3 so I have no opinion on how well these patches fix the problem(s).

It looks like the cdrdao-1.2.2-gcc-4.4.x.patch.bz2 patch did the trick, I'll upload it to -patches and replace the GCC 4.3 patch.

Denis has just got back to me about the release of 1.2.3. He said not to bother waiting for it as he doesn't currently have the time to push it out. He only has a couple of issues left to resolve and therefore rc2 is pretty much what 1.2.3 will be. He also packages cdrdao for Fedora and he's using the rc2 release.

Noting that 1.2.3 has been out for ages, and works for me, so updating the version in the summary

It depends on when the next stable version is due to be released. Due they have any timetable for a release schedule? How far apart have the alpahas, betas, and rc's been?
If you had to guess, is a new release on the horizon? If so, I'd wait for it, and put a note in the book that the rc2 works for now.
