Also I've been thinking, perhaps you put a link to the "Backporting A/V
Software to Trisquel 9" page in a more noticeable place? Because those who
didn't read our forum conversations aren't aware of this list, I believe.
What is your educated guess as to when Etiona will be released, at least
approximately in what month?

Sure, if it's the best source we can found we'll use it. It's also
possible that KXStudio will come back before Trisquel 9 is released, in
which case this will be a non-issue.

Well, it can be a temporary solution. Moreover, falkTX promised to return
later this year.

Sorry, I think I misunderstood your question, if it was in reference
KXStudio not having an Ubuntu 18.04 repository. Importing a package from
a 16.04 or 14.04 repository might be less
I don't think you understood me. What I mean is, a newer package like
DrumGizmo 0.9.17 available for older Ubuntu releases like 14.04. Wouldn't it
be easier to "forward-port" it into Trisquel 9 than to backport a similar
package from Ubuntu 19.10?

Yes, a newer version packaged for Ubuntu 18.04 (Trisquel 9's base) is
simplest, because we don't have to worry about Trisquel 9 missing
dependencies.

If you'd like to help find a source for these or any other packages you
would like to see backported, I've updated the wiki page[1] with a
description of what to look for.

Yes, although I would prefer to use a different source from KXStudio.
For a while their website has said, "NOTE: The KXStudio project is
currently on a break, regular development is expected to return later in
2019. Thanks for
I've added some programs that are in kxstudio's repos, is that ok?

"Importing" might be a better word than "backporting" in this case, but
yes.

And another question - are backports confined only to Ubuntu, or software can
be backported from other deb-based systems?
great, I'll add more programs then.

I just built Qtractor 0.9.9 on Trisquel 9 without running into any
problems. It should be easy to backport
I've stumbled upon this page
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/backporting-av-software-trisquel-9, I wanted to
add a program to the list but decided to ask here first, since I'm not
familiar with Trisquel backporting. I need the new version of Qtractor, when
I look at packages in Etiona here:
