Sorry for jumping into the middle of a thread without reading all of what came before and after. In case it hasn't been said, aiui DeMuDi was implemented as a CDD. Free was frequently to be read saying something like "think of it as a custom way of installing Debian to get a well working audio workstation." After the end of the funded period ended all, or nearly all, of the work was merged back into Debian proper. -edrz _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
