you may be misunderstanding my suggestion or my position in this - i am not the debian maintainer - i have no control over the user skel and it would be intrusive and pretentious to write to their .bashrc - i am the upstream maintainer trying to satisfy both debian who wants clients to autostart JACK, and also non-debian users who may take my binary packages or compile themselves i was suggesting to add a switch to the ./configure script of freewheeling (not to JACK) such as: '--enable-jack-autostart', that would select between two '#ifdef' blocks in the source code at compile-time; one with 'JackNoStartServer' passed to jack_client_open() and the other with 'JackNullOption' depending on whether or not '--enable-jack-autostart' was given to ./configure - debian could use that switch, debian users could over-ride that behavior with JACK_NO_START_SERVER if they choose to, and others could choose for themselves at compile-time; all without anyone patching _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
