Yah, there is no public archive.

You wont find something that can replace it.
You may be able to find stuff that can replace it in some parts. But try
to find something that can replace mkisofs - you wont be able to have
something like it, with the same support for so many different
needs. Similar for cdrecord. Easiest is cdda2wav. :)
There is stuff like dvd+rw-tools, but thats not really a replacement. It
can do some parts that the non-free cdrecord-PRODVD can do, but thats
it.
No, there is no serious replacement for cdrtools.
