Bug#859808: composite: Composite not ready for being qualified package of Debian yet.
Hi all, I'm the developer of Composite. In my humble opinion, Composite should never have been added to Debian. It was not ready. While it did offer a little bit of useful functionality (the hydrogen drumkits as an LV2 plugin), it overall was the beginnings of a new project, and Debian added it before it even developed a character of its own. It was never intended that it would detract from or cause confusion with the original Hydrogen project. The only reason why it looks like an old version of Hydrogen is that I had not yet gotten around to a useable replacement UI. And while I would love to go back to work on the project, for all intents and purposes it's dead. I don't have time to work on it. And as compiler changes and libraries move forward, I don't think the Debian devs should bother maintaining this package. Whoever added it to Debian I'm sure had good intentions, perhaps thinking it would help the project. However, it did not help the project. I support the removal of Composite from Debian. -gabe ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

(SLV2 has been deprecated in favor of LILV.) I have a fix in Git (maint-0.006 branch), but it crashed for Benoit on his first try.

While the segfault is a definately bug with SLV2 and zynjacku... Composite should not have passed a NULL for the 2nd parameter for what it was trying to do. I've posted a fix to Git, and it should resolve your issue. I'd like to make a release on Wednesday for this bug. If you could test it, I would appreciate it. Gitorious page: https://gitorious.org/composite/composite The fix is the maint-0.006 branch. Send me an e-mail if you need instructions.

I built SLV2 with debug symbols, and here's what I get for a backtrace.
Long story short: this is an SLV2 bug.

The docs for the uri-map extension clearly say that the `map` parameter

Looks like checking for (map == 0) is the fix.
