Ubuntu Studio packages good enough for Ubuntu?
I was testing apps from the various ubuntustudio packages and I came to the conclusion that even if Live CD space wasn't too big a problem (I was excluding packages with a JACK requirement but including those with just a libqt* dependency), most wouldn't be up to Ubuntu's default install standards. However some little ones that I had tried before and liked: agave gtick gnome-specimen and some that have gotten positive mentions here before: scribus inkscape Now, of the remainder, I was wondering if any of you would include apps from the following nine; I get the feeling they each either fits a niche that's too small to justify their general inclusion, or have a GUI that's too different, or are generally too difficult to use, etc.: kino hugin beast blender fontforge stopmotion hydrogen denemo pitivi Though I thought hugin and stopmotion were probably the two closest to meriting inclusion, though still perhaps overly specialty apps; thoughts? Also, of course, if you would include any from ubuntustudio* that I didn't list? :) Finally, a brief question about a package that isn't part of ubuntustudio* but has the look of one that should be: xaralx Did they ever solve the GPL issue with cdraw? http://www.linux.com/articles/59160 CK -- 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

Finally, a brief question about a package that isn't part of ubuntustudio* but has the look of one that should be: xaralx Inkscape covers this. Did they ever solve the GPL issue with cdraw? http://www.linux.com/articles/59160 CK For the most part, what you've listed isn't appropriate for a desktop focused distro. Like you said they each either fits a niche that's too small. In the end, just use Ubuntu Studio (niche distro) or it's trivial to grab them yourself on Ubuntu. There are many more desktop user focused apps that would be better to debate. -Cory -- 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
