Note that despite its name dvd+rw-tools fully support even DVD-R[W]. And
note that there is dvd+rw-tools.spec with %description already.

Note that rpl8 is not supported at all and not even compiled by default.
I don't think it's actually good idea to distribute it in binary form.

??? They are not installed set-root-uid by default... What you probably
want to write is "Binaries are not installed set-root-uid, as access
permissions to devices are expected to be handled by resmgr. Make sure
the latter is configured appropriately."

Not that I know of.

??? There is dvd+rw-tools.spec, and it does all that already. 'make
install' is ment for "old-school" users compiling from scratch, not for
so to say RPM packetiers. A.
