Idea #14836: Add gcdemu to repository

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #194: Easy mounting of Images like ISO and CUE.
Written by while the 26 Oct 08 at 19:16. Category: System. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
Add cdemu and GNOME applet for controlling CDEmu daemon (gcdemu) to oficial repository.

CDemu is a CD/DVD drive emulator for Linux.

Features:

* New design - pushed everything possible to userspace.
* Thin kernel layer (should be more stable & maintainable).
* .B6T, .CCD, .CDI, .CUE, .ISO, .MDS, .NRG, .TOC support.
* Command line & GUI clients and more;

It's time Linux to have good and powerfull CD emulator !

Latest "fresh" packages are in: 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/henrik-kabelkaos/ubuntu intrepid main'

Packages in 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/cdemu/ubuntu intrepid main' are litle bit old and incomplete.

When you request a package, then mention the license.
If free software, +1.
If proprietary software, -1.

Which scenarios benefit from this but not -o loop?

Package requests belong on Launchpad with the needs-packaging tag. (;

And how good cdemu in comparison with fuseiso?

@neon - I'd say this is a bit more than packaging request - CDemu brings much needed system functionality to Ubuntu, it should not only be placed in repository but also properly integrated with the system IMO... +1
