I too can verify that without ethernet connection there are no
activities-not-starting issues at all. Indeed, just about everything seems a
bit snappier.
Now if the latest (audio) Records only worked with Fedora15. (For me, the
activity seems to record, but plays back a silent file. Then, too, it seems
confused as to whether the format is Ogg Speex or Ogg Vorbis.)

Hey Art,
AWESOME on the csound.
On the Activities I've encountered similar results.
Cheers,
Peter

Peter -
Great news - your new Csound modules work *perfectly*.
FWIW, "perfectly" includes not only the crucial "old-parser" default, but
also MIDI and multiple-controller MIDI. (I hadn't suspected problems with these
latter two items, but thought I'd mention them anyway.)
In any case, my Csound-based activities run fine now without modification,
and the new Fedora 15 SoaS release will be backwardly compatible as far as
Csound (and Csound-python) is concerned.
BTW, I've a little hint about the "activities not opening" phenomenon.
Though often (usually?) they do not open the first time they are selected, if
they are selected *again* immediately, they always do open. (Or so it seems.)
Thanks again for all your help and forbearance with Csound.

easiest will be
"rpm -Uvh
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/csound/5.13.0/5.fc15/i686/csound-5.13.0-5.fc15.i686.rpm

Thanks, Peter.
I'll try this out tomorrow.
Do I upgrade simply with:
yum upgrade csound
?

Hmm. We'll see how we get on. Build csound-5.13.0-5.fc15 will have
the change in it. It will be submitted as an update shortly.

Peter,
FYI (another response). Felipe is the Debian maintainer for
Csound. He's quite active and knowledgeable about Csound (and has followed it
over a period of time), FWIW.

I agree with most of your comments but...

Everyone knows I'm a Windows person, and normally wouldn't be
affected
by such largely "Linux issues." However, I am involved with the
Fedora-based
Sugar-on-a-Stick project. A new release is about to come out,
and Csound has
been built with default Scons options, resulting in its being
incompatible
with the Activities I've written, as well as with all previous
Sugar-on-a-Stick releases. This is "a problem that shouldn't
be".
This is really a problem that shouldn't be, but not for the
reasons
you argue. The csound maintainer in fedora should be specifying
all
the features he wants and disabling all that he doesn't. Leaving
the
build script to do whatever it feels like is wrong.
At the very least, the default Scons script should indicate
clearly the
meaning of each option, and *in giant red letters/flags* (or
the equivalent)
indicate experimental and untested features. Then by all means,
make a safe
and compatible default build.
Am I way off base? Please let me know what I'm missing.
This is my opinion only, but relying on defaults is the wrong way
to
build software.
