Where did Brasero go with RHEL 7 and what replaces it?

Latest response

So I think there are no GUI DVD burning apps or Nautilus built-ins in RHEL 7 by default. What is up with that? What are people using for GUI dvd burning?

Hi Kodiak,

Brasero is still available in the RHEL7 Workstation repositories:

# yum list available | grep brasero
brasero.x86_64                 3.8.0-7.el7      rhel-7-workstation-rpms         
brasero-devel.i686             3.8.0-7.el7      rhel-7-workstation-optional-rpms
brasero-devel.x86_64           3.8.0-7.el7      rhel-7-workstation-optional-rpms
brasero-libs.i686              3.8.0-7.el7      rhel-7-workstation-rpms         
brasero-libs.x86_64            3.8.0-7.el7      rhel-7-workstation-rpms         
brasero-nautilus.x86_64        3.8.0-7.el7      rhel-7-workstation-rpms

Which variant of RHEL are you using?

Hi Robert,
So apparently it was dropped from the server channel. We only run the server channel for everything (workstations too) since we didn't want to manage 2 sets of child channels in our satellite. Maybe this will have to change now.

I wish there was an easy way to do package searches in the Redhat portal for distributions not related to registered hosts - we'll only ever have the RHEL 6 Satellite server registered so package search is essentially useless on the website.

Thanks!

Hi Kodiak,

on https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/channels/software/Search.do you need to make sure you have selected the "In the following architectures:" radio box and chosen an architecture from the check boxes below it.

If that doesn't work for you, please let me know and we'll get a bug filed.

Hi Mark,
That's correct - doing that exact search from that link only shows hits "relevant to my hosts", which if you have a Satellite server, will only be relevant to the satellite server because no other hosts will be registered with RHN directly. Thus doing a search from the link you provided will not show any packages for brasero for RHEL 7 because our satellite server is RHEL 6 and using the RHEL 6 server parent channel.

Hope this helps with your portal improvement endeavors.

Try using the new package search, RHN classic is clunky:
https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/69/ver=/rhel---7/7.1%20Beta/x86_64/packages

You can select which distro you want to search at the top.

For anyone that bumps into this -

Yes, brasero and k3b are in Workstation and Desktop, but not Server.

Command line tools such as cdrecord and dvd-rw-tools can be used in the case of Server.
