Regarding pacman.conf I planed to do the same back in 2015. >Until I noticed the list of dependencies, see e.g. ><https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/carla/>. > >This 'Audio Plugin Host' depends on at least five GUI toolkits >(ntk, gtk2, gtk3, qt4, qt5), a number of soft synths (why ?), >and some very specific or -git versions of lots of libraries. >Many of these have similar long dependency lists of their own. > >Expecting this sort of software to be stable, secure and maintainable >(assuming you manage to build it at all) is just dreaming.

I don't depend on open source audio for my daily work, but I want to have trouble free fun making music in my free time. To cut a long story short, I never used carla. Building caral and launching carla does work, I still wonder what Carla 1.9.7 (2.0-beta5) is for. Did I build the stable release 1.9.7 or a beta of 2.0?
