hi folks, I just saw an interesting line over at opensuse.org ( http://news.opensuse.org/2010/04/14/opensuse-11-3-milestone-5-the-community-strikes-back/) regarding the installation of JACK2 as default in the upcoming opensuse 11.3 release. That wasn't the interesting part. This is:
The JACK team is coordinating with openSUSE, Ubuntu, and Debian, among > others, to upgrade to jack 1.9.5 (JACK2) during the spring/summer release > cycle. > This seems to imply that there is quite a large move happening across multiple distros, and that move is being coordinated with JACK developers. I'm not a dev and I'm not really comfortable commenting on dev issues, but is this really accurate? Personally I'd be glad if there were such a move as JACK2 is what I use, but my understanding is that no announcements have been made by JACK devs regarding an official obsoletion of JACK1. The reference provided with that statement is a very short email correspondence on the opensuse-factory mailing list about the topic that references an unmentioned debian-multimedia contact. Are any interested or invested parties willing to provide some clarification on this? I know distros are fully welcome to package whatever they wish. I also am pretty sure that whatever happens will happen regardless of my opinion on the matter. There have, however, been some colorful exchanges between packagers and devs regarding JACK in the past so in the interest of transparency and openness I was hoping involved parties might have something to say about this. -Michael
