Hi Luke,

debian-multimedia list as well)

  LY Hi
  LY I am a member of the UbuntuStudio team, and helping with ardour 2 
  LY packaging. As previously discussed, upstream would prefer if ardour, and 
  LY ardour2 were separate packages. I have since done this, and have just 
  LY packaged ardour2.0, rc1. If you would like to use my work as a base for 
  LY Debian, you can find the source package here: 
  LY http://www.themuso.id.au/ubuntu/ardour2.

  LY Looking forward to future collaboration with Debian on this package, and 
  LY from hearing from you soon.

Thanks! I think it's a good base to start on, however I'm thinking to
make a couple of cosmetic changes:

- Drop the ardour2-session-exchange (which consists of only one file)
  and ardour2-doc (very few text files as well) packages and merge them
  with the actual binary packages [0], this makes things simpler.

- Keep the package source name as ardour instead of changing it to
  ardour2, as the upstream tarball is named ardour-X.Y

- Name the binary packages simply ardour, ardour-i686 and ardour-altivec,
  this will keep the possibility of a parallel install of the old ardour-gtk 
  package, and at the same time if you type apt-get install ardour you
  get ardour 2.0 installed, which is what I intuitively expect to happen.

Ciao,

[0] Note that the ardour manual is currently not included in
ardour-doc, nor in the original upstream tarball. If later on we want
to package it as well, it would be probably better to make a
separate source package, as they do for example with the eximdoc4
package. This give us the possibility to upload the two things
separately, without having to rebuild ardour for X archs just to
incorporate some new additions in the manual, or to upload the whole
manual at every ardour upload.

No problem.

Makes sense.

   ardour2, as the upstream tarball is named ardour-X.Y

Yep.

 ardour-altivec,

I am going to go ahead and make these changes now, as UbuntuStudio want 
to ship ardour2 on the CD they are preparing, and while not in Ubuntu 
proper, I'd rather we get it right the first time. I'll let you know 
once I have done so, and will point you to the source package.

Thanks for your response.

That's great! Thanks, I'll have a closer look tomorrow. Just another
tip, if it's not to late. I'd change the version number from:

2.0rc1-0ubuntu1

to

2.0~rc1-0ubuntu1

This way if you later package the final 2.0-0ubuntu1, apt will be
happy to upgrade it. [0]

Ciao!

[0] apt considers 2.0  2.0rc1, BUT 2.0  2.0~rc1
