That was a great! It's really an impressive amount of stuff that
happened during the cycle :)

BTW I really like the idea of using debian-multime...@l.d.o for general
discussions interesting also for people outside the team. It should
definitely help cross-team interactions or random users willing to

Yes, the DeMuDi idea is quite old and eventually evolved in the 64
Studio project, which is more a Debian remix/customization than an
official Debian Blend. At some point there was an AGNULA/DeMuDi
implementation too, but not 100% Debian either. I still like the name

Totally. The only strong points we have as team are listed here

http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/DevelopPackaging#Packagingguidelines

and they are pretty packaging-tool-agnostic (re CDBS/DH7/whatever). We
have a lot of packages to care of and limited resources (it's almost all
volunteer work), so I think it makes sense to let whoever gets the job
done decide about how to do it, as long as it is compliant with the
Debian Policy and the few guidelines above.

Btw, thanks a lot Jonas and Adrian for pushing jack2->unstable forward.

So, my opinion is that we should definitely have jack2 in squeeze,
because it seems to be better (that is more features, and as stable as
jack1) and apparently is what the upstream recommends as well. FWIW I've
been using it daily for nearly one year, and also used for a few
production projects.

concerned you're one of the most knowledgeable among us.

I can sponsor this upload.

However there a problem with this command in the clean target:

rm -fv idjcpython/idjc_config.py

because it removes a file which was actually there in the pristine
extracted source package.

Steps to reproduce:

git clone git://git.debian.org/pkg-multimedia/idjc.git
fakeroot ./debian/rules clean
git status

# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add/rm ..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- ..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#   deleted:idjcpython/idjc_config.py
#

This problem was not introduced in this revision, but it would be nice
to fix it before uploading.

Indeed fusd-kor (which is used by oss2jack) is not very useful
anymore. I believe all major distributions are dropping OSS support at
all, and the jack ALSA plugin combined with the snd-oss module can do
job. Luckily there are very few OSS-only applications these days, mainly
legacy non-free ones I'd say.

So all in all, I agree we should request its removal from Debian, and
I'll do it shortly if nobody objects or wants to take over its
maintenance.

Thanks for bringing this up. Ciao!

Adrian imported the sources above into the jack-audio-connection-kit git
repository on Alioth and updated it a bit. I've been using it for a
while an I think it's in good shape, I just uploaded it to
experimental. If it turns to be stable for most of us, I'd be happy to
move it to unstable, maybe in a couple of months or so.

Ciao!

Oh, okay, I had misunderstood that then. I agree this would be a good

I think the solution you described is the one mostly adopted.

There's no pressure to go for it right now though.

Thanks for having changed this! I'm not too convinced by the idea of not
including the 32bit library, I guess it would be handy for some users
and it wouldn't hurt the others.

However it's a good start already, so if you don't want to include the
lib for now, that's fine for me.

Yes, sorry, I should have mentioned it before. As you already renamed
it, let's try to go on with this.

  JM> so I thought it is not problematic

If you change the source package name, the package will end up in the
NEW queue, so we'll have to make it sure that the renaming is well
explained in the changelog.

Given that this is a relatively new package and it's not in stable, I
guess it's okay to not provide dummy migration packages.

Ciao,

Unless there's a very compelling reason for doing so, I'd rather not
