Ubuntu Studio mirrors required
-- Forwarded message -- From: T.P.J.Ferrere Date: Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 11:05 AM Subject: ISOs aren't mirrored To: "ubuntu-studio-de...@lists.ubuntu.com" < ubuntu-studio-de...@lists.ubuntu.com> Hi all, Is there any specific reason why some Ubuntu distributions are mirrored while Studio isn’t? In all Ubuntu mirror sites there is a link to download Ubuntu Studio, unfortunately it doesn’t point to a local page on the mirror site but to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/9.10/releasewhich is obviously not accessible. Let me know what I can do next to help. Cheers, Thomas Hi, I just received this e-mail on the Ubuntu Studio mailing list, and thought I'd pass it on to a wider audience in hopes of finding any admins of Ubuntu mirrors that would be willing to also host the Ubuntu Studio images. As we all know cdimage.ubuntu.com is slammed (I'll refrain myself from vulgarities in describing how slammed it is) and unfortunately that is the only place (other than the torrents) where the Ubuntu Studio Karmic ISO is hosted. So this is a plea to anyone with a mirror to consider the option of hosting Ubuntu Studio images. It is a very popular (and official) derivative, currently ranked 33 on distrowatch's page hit ranking (xubuntu is 31) and it would be great to have the ISO directly accessible via web browser - cdimage.ubuntu.com exists, but it takes forever to load if lucky enough to have it load right now. Thanks for your time. -Eric Hedekar -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Inclusion of Jack in main will solve a lot of problem with audio applications, sound servers, etc... Missing Jack in main is a great problem too for packagers.

Jack inclusion in Main
In Bug #416778 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416778 ) Loïc Minier has requested further public discussion on the subject of Jack Audio Server http://jackaudio.org/ being included in the Main repositories. I was told this list would be the best place for that discussion. I am also CCing the ubuntu-studio-de...@lists.ubuntu.com because the Ubuntu Studio team has been the driving force behind this inclusion request and are extremely knowledgeable in regards to JACK. Here are a couple of my thoughts on the matter as to why Jack should be included in Main. - Many bugs have been filed against various audio servers currently in Main (xine, alsa, portaudio, pulseaudio) requesting that the JACK bridge/plugin/output/etc... be turned on or compiled into the package - this is not possible without the inclusion of Jack in Main. Bugs #152487, #84900, #109659, and #360590 (this may not be a complete list, and duplicates of most of these have been filed). - The libffado drivers for firewire soundcards ( http://www.ffado.org ) are only supported by the Jack driver. This makes these common, pro, semi-pro, and hobbyist audio cards inaccessible for most applications without the previous audio server bridges/plugins/outputs to jack available. Owners of these cards must recompile major audio drivers in order to get basic Ubuntu sound. - Jack is an audio server designed specifically for professional reliable audio signals. This is not a duplicate server clogging up the "audio mess", which some people believe exists in Linux, it is a specialty tool for musicians, audio engineers, and anyone using Linux for professional audio. (In-fact if anything, allowing the aforementioned bugs to get fixed would clean up a large chunk of the "audio mess" which some believe exists. It would at least stop a large segment of people from griping so loudly about and attempting to remove PulseAudio.) Please voice your opinion on the matter. -Eric Hedekar -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
