Sorry, I didn't notice your message until you update this package. Feel free to adopt this package.

Since the maintainer @fitu996 hasn't logged in in a year but had previously left a comment asking for co-maintainers I made the decision to short circuit the usual 2 week wait time on orphan requests and just added @flan_suse directly as a co-maintainer. I hope this is agreeable.

If @fitu996 wants me to adopt the package, I can. If I only need to worry about one package on the AUR, it's not a big deal.

dvdisaster happens to be a unique software with an under-appreciated (yet highly important) use-case.

I value archiving and preserving data into future generations, and tools like dvdisaster and M-Disc media are crucial in this regard. I've been archiving a lot of irreplaceable data and memories, so this type of software is very important to keep alive and updated.

I made an updated version of the PKGBUILD to reflect the new upstream website, the new version (0.79.9), and included a few comments for future package maintainers. It builds correctly, installs correctly, and I was able to use dvdisaster 0.79.9 to create augmented ECC (RS03) on some new archival discs!

Here is the PKGBUILD I updated. Hopefully it can be used. I don't mind adopting this package, but I've been fairly busy in my own life.

dvdisaster.net is down. I found a mirror of the sources here: https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/dvdisaster

They need to be renamed, but the checksums match.

I adopt it because I use it. But not very often. I will update it when I need to use it and it stopped working. If it stops working, please notify me. Or if you can keep an eye on this package and update it in time, tell me and feel free to adopt/co-maintain it.
