Re: Announcement: Ardour 2.7.1 will land in hardy + intrepid
Dear all, Due to some particularly nasty scons bug, the ardour packages might take longer to hit the archives than I had hoped. In the meanwhile, please feel free to install ardour from my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~khashayar/+archive. There are packages for hardy and intrepid available. In my PPA you may also find other packages that could be of interest, such as jack 0.116.1 and ffado. Please note, however, that anything you install from my PPA you do on your own risk. These are *not* official Ubuntu Studio packages, and they are *not* backed up by the Ubuntu Studio team. A lot of these packages will never end up in backports archives. Be warned. That said, if you do encounter issues, do let me know and I'll try to fix things. And if you don't encounter issues, feel free to let me know anyway :-) Regards, K.

RE: Announcement: Ardour 2.7.1 will land in hardy + intrepid
Add my thanks for your efforts. I'm curious as to why Jack won't be backported? As one who recently ended up with a completely unstable Jack 116 after building on my Ubuntu Studio Hardy amd64, I'd love to have the latest Jack that works... ;-) >Original Message: >- >From: Khashayar Naderehvandi khashayar.li...@gmail.com >Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:05:54 +0100 >To: ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com >Subject: Announcement: Ardour 2.7.1 will land in hardy + intrepid > > >Dear all, > >I am happy to announce that Ardour 2.7.1 has been accepted for >backporting to Hardy as well as Intrepid [1].
