The official page records cdlabelgen 4.3.0 in March 2013, source archives for 4.3.1 beta, and an official GitHub repository for cdlabelgen and cdinsert. ### Adoption history cdlabelgen reflects a Unix-era desktop workflow: generate printable PostScript from shell scripts, listings, or a web form, then preview or print it with external tools. Its documentation emphasizes minimum dependencies, needing only Perl, and output that can be used by PostScript or PDF-oriented print workflows. The package has remained in Linux and macOS package managers because it solves a narrow physical-media problem without needing a graphical design suite. ### How it is used The man page describes command-line generation of front cards, tray cards, CD envelopes, DVD inserts, and printable CD/DVD output. It supports file-based item lists, color options, EPS overlays, and PostScript output. ### Why package nerds care cdlabelgen is the kind of small, durable packaging artifact maintainers remember: a mostly self-contained Perl tool, tied to PostScript printing, useful long after CD burning stopped being fashionable because package managers preserve niche workflows. ### Timeline - Pre-2001: B W Fitzpatrick creates the original cdlabelgen. - 2001-2013: Avinash Chopde maintains the ACZoom cdinsert/cdlabelgen web interface and enhancements. - 2012: Man page records cdlabelgen version 4.2.0. - 2013: ACZoom page lists cdlabelgen 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 beta source archives. ### Related projects - The official page references GTKcdlabel as a GTK+ frontend, barcodegen for barcode EPS overlays, and ogonkify for character encoding support in generated PostScript. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** cdlabelgen - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - cdlabelgen - 4.3.0-4: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: cdlabelgen from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | generates front cards and tray cards for CDs and DVDs | https://www.aczoom.com/tools/cdinsert/ - Ubuntu apt - cdlabelgen - 4.3.0-4: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: cdlabelgen from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | generates front cards and tray cards for CDs and DVDs | https://www.aczoom.com/tools/cdinsert/ - dnf - cdlabelgen - 4.3.0-26.fc44: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: cdlabelgen from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | Generates frontcards and traycards for inserting in CD jewelcases | http://www.aczoom.com/tools/cdinsert/ ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Productivity CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/productivity-cli-packages/) - Matched curated productivity category metadata from av.db. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [a2ps](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/a2ps/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, postscript, printing, productivity. - [mpage](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mpage/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, postscript, printing, productivity. - [pcal](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pcal/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, postscript, printing, productivity. - [blazeblogger](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/blazeblogger/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, perl, productivity. - [ccal](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ccal/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, postscript, productivity. - [docx2txt](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/docx2txt/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, perl, productivity. - [extract_url](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/extract-url/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, perl, productivity. - [fop](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/fop/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, postscript, productivity. - [cdargs](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cdargs/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
