Another point to think of: admins can locally install any¹ other soundfont by just copying it into place, and those can also serve as default soundfonts. This offers two questions: • do we really need the virtual package outlined above (i.e. would it have any users in Depends)? Depending on it would make the local soundfont slightly more difficult. (If it’s just Recommends, no worries.) • how easy is it for non-packaged things to be added to the Debian alternatives system? I think it’s just one command, which we could document in the consumers of soundfonts’ readmes. ① I know of several very well-liked but non-redistributable ones in the MuseScore forums scene alone. bye, //mirabilos -- > Wish I had pine to hand :-( I'll give lynx a try, thanks.
