Hearsay, your honour!

Well, there's some FUD floating around about ATrpms - I'm of course
biased in the other direction. Suffice it to say that you will not
find any report of unstable packages in the "stable" repo, and that
since RHEL5/CentOS5's birth there were no "stable" packages replacing
CentOS packages but one that accidentially was in the "stable" and was
fixed minutes within the report (I forgot which package it was, just
check these archives, it was O(1-2 months) ago).

There is also nothing that has happened in the last months to
increase/decrease ATrpms' trustworthiness. Maybe less FUD and
gossiping. ;)

Finally yum priorities and protect have been long enough available to
show that they create more bugs than they solve. If you don't trust a
repo, just don't use it. Selective/partial enabling creates per user
bugs that no one can diagnose.

But to get back to the actual issue: No, ATrpms has neither cdrdao,
nor cdrecord, nor xcdroast.
