Bug#970653: ITP: vguitar -- Play Guitar in any term w/ MIDI synthesizer
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Nick Strauss * Package name: vguitar Version : 2.6 Upstream Author : Nick Strauss * URL : http://www.nick-strauss.com/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C++ Description : Play Guitar in any term w MIDI synthesizer Vguitar is a MIDI instrument Guitar and is a tablature editor and can easily read existing ASCII tablature with some minor editing. Connect via ALSA to a synthesizer. Vguitar supports a six string guitar with standard and alternative tunings including relative, MIDI and Drop D tunings, supports box and strum modes. VGuitar is extremely lightweight dependent only on libasound and ncurses. It is written in C++ and is easy to read and to build. * Providing similar functionality, how does it compare? only Vguitar is a unix tool rather than a monolithic windows application with menus. only Vguitar is term window based. only Vguitar supports alternate tunings, box and strum modes. only Vguitar is written in C++ and is only dependent on libasound and ncurses. ** songwrite fairly easy to build python dependent on Lilypond and Tcl/Tk. easy learning curve ** eTktab which is a guitar tablature editor written in Tcl/Tk, simple fairly easy to build (only depends on TCL/TK) source code bulky, hard to read. no sound. ** Tuxguitar http://www.tuxguitar.com.ar/ build difficulty (dependent on Java (JVM) which is licensed, ANT, SWT, and ITEXT). steep learning curve feature rich, complicated, not term based. has note effects. ** guitarexerciser #667855 ? * I am looking for co-maintainers and a sponsor. * I am looking for suggestions for version and change control.

Hi Tobi,

At one point, I had Vguitar fully i18n compliant and I made a call to
bindtextdomain ("vguitar", "/usr/share/locale/"); and I had PO files, and
support in the Makefiles. Then I took this out, because I do not understand the
Debian way for supporting. Is there a translation service?
There are not many textual messages in Vguitar. Maybe it is enough to only
support English.

What is an ITP (1) bug?
Thank you for responding. I am unfamiliar with Debian packaging,

No need to change the upstream code. If you unpack the source package using "dpkg-source -x ..*dsc" the patch should be applied.
