Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi,
ardour (a digital audio workstation), is available in Debian via two source packages - ardour (providing ardour-4.2; current upstream version) - ardour3 (providing ardour-3.5; released in 2014-10) the pkg-multimedia team (including me) is maintaining both source packages. the double source package comes from a time where "ardour" provided the stable ardour-2.8 release, and ardour3 introduced a new major upstream version for parallel install). now, upstream has adapted a rolling release strategy, where they do not support older releases. in the light of this, the maintainers of both packages have decided to drop the outdated ardour3 source package for stretch. we therefore request removal from the unstable suite. once ardour3 is removed from unstable, we will probably add a transitional ardour3 *binary* package built from the ardour source package. This transitional package will be removed after stretch has been released. mfrdsa IOhannes PS: once ardour3 is removed from unstable, do I need to file another RM for testing?
