## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

mkcue is a small command-line utility that generates a CUE sheet from a CD table of contents. Debian's package description presents it as a companion to abcde for backing up audio CDs as a single FLAC track plus cue sheet.

### Projektgeschichte

The Debian manpage notes that it was written for Debian because the original program did not include one. The current Debian source package is maintained as `mkcue` and has an official Debian source repository on Salsa.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

mkcue survives mainly through distribution packaging. Debian, Ubuntu, Homebrew, and Nix package it for users maintaining optical-disc archival workflows.

### Wie es verwendet wird

The interface is intentionally small: `mkcue` reads a CD-ROM device, defaults to `/dev/cdrom`, and supports `-t` to exclude tracks above a given count, which is useful for CDs with data tracks.

Its role is metadata extraction for audio-CD backups rather than general cue-sheet editing.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

mkcue is package-nerd interesting because it is the kind of tiny Unix utility that remains useful only when kept alive by distributions. Its value is narrow, but it composes with abcde, FLAC, and optical-disc archival packages.

### Zeitleiste

- 2008: Debian changelog history records Debian packaging activity for mkcue 1.
- 2021: Debian bullseye manpage documents the command interface.
- 2026: Debian sid lists source package mkcue 1-9 with Salsa as the Debian source repository.

### Related projects

- mkcue is related to abcde, FLAC ripping workflows, cuetools, cue2toc, libdiscid, and Debian sound packages.
