cdrkit is a fork of cdrtools. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cdrkit
According to German Wikipedia cdrtools is better maintained, but I cannot say anything about it. I'm using cdrtools since beginning of time

I downloaded and tried to compile it, without success. The last release was 2007, which is pretty old.

Hmm ... I wanted try burn iso with errors check by this recepture:
http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/v ... -from-disk.
readom dev=/dev/scd0 f=/path/to/image.iso
Many like to use 'dd' for creating CD/DVD iso images. This is bad. Very bad. The reason this is, is 'dd' doesn't have any built-in error checking. So, you don't know if you got all the bits or not. As such, it is not the right tool for the job. Instead, 'reaom' (read optical media) from the wodim package is what you should be using. It has built-in error checking. Similarly, if you want to burn your newly creating ISO, stay away from 'dd', and use:
wodim -v -eject /path/to/image.iso
@mimosa you are wrong
last tar.gz was in 2010

ink3, you are right. I don't know where else I may have been looking. The latest version also compiled easily on my machine: just make and make install. I'm using the 3.2 kernel, but I bet it works with 2.6.x too.
