# Unofficial version
|
||||
|
||||
The last upstream version is dated 2017, and the official website is down.
|
||||
The last upstream version by Carsten Gnörlich is dated 2017, and could be found on the [official](https://web.archive.org/web/20180428070843/http://dvdisaster.net/en/index.html) [website](https://web.archive.org/web/20180509154525/http://dvdisaster.org/en/index.html) which is [now](http://www.dvdisaster.net) [down](http://www.dvdisaster.org). The original source code [repository](https://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdisaster/files/dvdisaster) doesn't have it, but [Debian sources](https://sources.debian.org/src/dvdisaster/) does, thanks to the maintainer there.
|
||||
The original README has been left untouched in this repository.
|
||||
This version is built on top of the latest upstream version, with the following notable enhancements:
|
||||
|
||||
- Most Debian patches have been applied (The Debian version source code can be found [here](https://sources.debian.org/src/dvdisaster/))
|
||||
- Windows build added back (was dropped upstream a few versions before the last one)
|
||||
- A Linux CLI-only version can now be compiled, without depending on gtk
|
||||
- Most Debian patches have been applied, those specific to Debian have been omitted
|
||||
- Windows build supported again, it was dropped upstream a few versions back
|
||||
- A Linux CLI-only version is now supported, without depending on gtk (`CLI_ONLY=1 ./configure && make clean && make -j4`)
|
||||
- Regression tests confirmed working on Linux64 (normal and CLI-only), Windows32 and Windows64
|
||||
- Added pre-defined sizes for BD-R Triple Layer (100GB), BD-R Quadruple Layer (128GB)
|
||||

# Rationale
|
||||
|
||||
Even if the optical media era is sunsetting now, and has been for a few years, it's still of some value for off-site backups. In any case, we still have media in our hands that we want to be able to repair, should it be damaged, during the next years/decades. Repairing is actually pretty much the very reason of dvdisaster existence (as long as parity data has been added, of course).
|
||||
The idea of this unofficial version is to ensure dvdisaster doesn't get hard to find, use or compile, should upstream development never resume (we hope it does!).
|
||||
This is also why precompiled Windows binaries and a precompiled static CLI-only Linux version are available here.
