Hi Gemi / comaintainers of audacity,
I am about to request cvs epel branches (5,6) for audacity.
The intent would be to build current 1.3.12 beta for EL-6, and if
positive feedback also build for EL-5 testing (in case it has the needed
requirements).
Let me know if this will cause issues etc ?
Also 1.3.12 beta has been built for rawhide and F13 (awaiting testing push):

If you are an audacity user please help by testing this build and
reporting problems in the update as soon as you can.
David Timms.
The Fedora version has annoying bugs that are fixed in the current svn
(QjackCtl: 0.3.6.30). Any chance of a bugfix release picking up these
important fixes:
(1) Fixed: Patchbay connections made from a single midi subdevice to
different midi port's subdevices end up connecting to all subdevices
between ports. Requiriung hand-editing each time a patchbay is
activated where this bug is occurring.
(2) Fixed: Infinite loop and warning-dialog-lockout on jackd failure:

(3) Fixed: You can now start multiple qjackctl's each talking to their
own soundcard
( http://old.nabble.com/Re:-qjackctl---server-name-p28828296.html )
e.g.
qjackctl --server-name=ICE1724 --preset=ICE1724_48
qjackctl --server-name=M66 --preset=M66-Omni-Studio

I believe that it is supported with ffado version 2.0rc2+ according to
http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/rc2
So PlanetCCRMA's ffado should support it. Alternatively, an SVN
snapshot of ffado, which will become version 2.1 in the future and
which supports a wider range of hardware, is under review in Fedora.
You might want to grab the SRPM from
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456353
and build your own RPMs. It is supposed to have the same API/ABI with
previous versions so we don't expect it to have problems.

Hi, I've recently updated rakarrack to 0.4.2-2 for fc12 and rawhide.
While it works well on my F12 system, I would welcome some additional
testing feedback (preferably in bodhi), before pushing it to the more
stable F12 updates:
f12:
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update rakarrack
feedback to:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/rakarrack-0.4.2-2.fc12
Since the f13 build had sat in testing, but no comments were made, and I
had no trouble running it over last 2 months, I've pushed the update to
stable.
For rawhide, I don't have a machine to test on at the moment (with
working alsa/pulse analog input), so feel free to provide any feedback
you can about rakarrack.
About rhel5 - anyone prefer the upgrade to not go to the epel5 repo ?
Cheers, David.
FYI, some useful links on Fedora packaging:

Also, related to fedora packaging -- on LAU, I queried how to package apps
that depend on nonfree codecs, so that they dynamically load in LAME or
other nonfree/blacklisted technologies from RPMFusion. My particular
interest is in being able to package apps like 'qtractor' as part of Fedora
with MP3 support if the appropriate RPMfusion packages are available. I
really don't like the way things are done currently with separate "Fedora"
and Freeworld packages, which is unworkable, confusing, and a maintenance
nightmare in the long-run.

audio player moc, at least with wavpack. If it's compiled with wavpack
support and it's not installed nothing bad happens. Wavpack files don't
show up and those in a playlist don't play, that's all. No idea how it's
implemented, but I'd like to see that kind of behavior in more apps.

Hello:
Several weeks ago, I wrote to this list while seeking mentors for a
project with Fedora Summer Coding 2010. I'm pleased to let you know
that my proposal was accepted, and that an official "Musicians' Guide"
is in the works for Fedora 14!
As part of the writing process, I hope to put the document through an
extensive program of testing and proof-reading. While development is
currently just beginning, some algorithms already exist for the
tutorials, and they are scheduled to be completed by the end of next
week. It will be very important to try to catch problems early on,
especially in the tutorials covering less popular software (because it
will have less existing documentation), and in the tutorials covering
"system optimization" (discussing the removal of PulseAudio, compilation
of realtime-enabled kernels, and so on).
If you would like to volunteer your help, please drop by the project's
Trac page, which has further information, and links to draft
documentation (through "Topics and Development"). This page will be
updated regularly, as devleopment progresses.
http://fedorahosted.org/musicians-guide/
This is an exciting project, and a great opportunity not only for
myself, but for the Fedora community, to show off the advanced
capabilities of the distribution.
Christopher Antila.
