Hello, On debbug #798490 (ITP bug merged with this one) I noted that
upstream (falkTX) is consciously bundling dependencies, therefore I lost
all will to tackle this RFP.

If one looks at the Ubuntu packages, it seems that they are not taking
care of that. Such a package would not get accepted in the Debian repos
as it violates the policies, and is overall detrimental to the
ecosystem.

I do not expect this situation to change, as it hasn't changed in the
last ~8 years, as Upstream (falkTX) seems to have a vetted interest,
since they receive remuneration for their work on audio-focused
distributions.

Bug#804235: carla packaging

2021-09-08 Thread Yuri D'Elia
Hi everyone, any progress on this?

I noticed carla is now packaged in ubuntu
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/carla) and I wonder if we could
reuse that effort to bring carla to debian too.
