Title: Backports, the benefits and the consequences.

Ubuntu Studio is happy to announce that backports are going to be
rolling out soon and that the first one is Ardour. Backports
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports) are newer version of
applications, rolled back to "older" version of the System. For example
in the case of Ardour, Ubuntu Studio users running 16.04 will be able to
have the latest version available in 16.10 /without/ upgrading the
entire system. This is a great thing, and with great power comes great
responsibility: Backports have to be manually installed by the user, and
the user will be required to carefully and think about the possible
consequences:
[strong]The new version may be better, but it could also have some new
bugs not found yet, and sometimes the new version might use a newer data
format that is _not backwards compatible_.[/strong]

This means that if you are in the middle of a project, backporting your
tools can potentially compromise your projects deadline, or worse.
Whatever mistake you do, you can of course always rollback, but
remember: *Better safe than sorry* : _always_ back-up your project data
before installing a backport.

In order to be able to provide you with backports for other pieces of
software shipped with Ubuntu Studio, the devel-team could need a hand.
If you have a little spare-time that you can share with the community,
here is how you can help out:

You will find a list of the status of the work here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/BackportsList (

Here are instructions on how to get set up to backport with generic
details of the process:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/BackportsHowToHelp

And here is the Ubuntu Studio specific process:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Backports

Please feel welcome and invited to ask the Ubuntu Studio devel-team for
more details, help, instructions or to suggest a package for backporting

Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] Call for Ardour Backport Testing

2016-06-21 Thread WMID 
UbuntuStudio team, thanks for the Ardour Backport, this is because the
default Ardour that come with UbuntuStudio 16.04 not working fine.

When I set QjackCtl to 128 square/periods and try to save my voice at the
same time that I hear in the laptop the reproductions, appear a message
that said that is not possible to write in the hard drive because a no are
sync. Sorry not have a snapshot and I am a spanish parlant, no remember
fine.

But with 4.7 in Backport working fine:

Ardour (4.7) Backport Testing

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Call for Ardour Backport Testing

2016-05-27 Thread Ross Gammon 
Hi All,

As Set pointed out, we now have the latest version of Ardour ready to be
tested for Backporting to Xenial and Trusty. We need to test that all of
the binary packages install OK, and work. We also need to check all
reverse dependencies, but as these are mostly "metapackages",it
shouldn't be an issue.

Q: I want to help, so how do I test?
A:
Step 1 - You need a Trusty and/or Xenial LTS installation of Ubuntu
Studio that you don't mind potentially breaking
Step 2 - follow the instructions
(https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/+archive/ubuntu/backport-testing)
to add our Backport Testing ppa and do an apt-get update, then apt-get
upgrade.
Step 3 - Give the new version of Ardour a test run. If you are pretty
new to Ardour, you could try running our Manual Test Procedure:
http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/361/builds/117793/testcases/1672/results
Step 4 - Add a comment to the backport bug and tell us whether it was
Trusty/Xenial or both that you tested, which binary packages exactly,
and how things went.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/trusty-backports/+bug/1584930

Once we have enough evidence that it is working, we can ask someone from
the backports team to recommend it's upload to the archive.

If you have any problems, then sing out!

Regards,

Ross
