I really hope so. Get as many packages as possible properly orchestrated and create a good scene where both developers and musicians can find what they need. :-) I can fully understand the need for getting apps over to the more well-known fedora repos before anything else, but at least to me it looks like there are so many packages now that it may be time to look at the rest. Create a 'home' for something that may grow into a separate spin some day. Forums/wiki? At least some informational pages that are current with respect to supported fedora releases. > > My advice: also take a look at PlanetCCRMA. > 1.

I did, and there were lots of talk about installing ccrma low-tatency kernels and other mods to fedora 7 to 10. Nothing about 11 or 12. > 2. Install the Planet CCRMA yum repo.

When I didn't find any info for Fedora 12 on the web pages I kind of stumbled on to look elsewhere. Perhaps that was a mistake. > Read and learn more about the real time kernel, about (not) using > pulseaudio, alsa, jack, configurations, and things like that. Pulseaudio has changed a bit since F10 hasn't it? Again, I would like to see how bits fit together in the supported Fedora releases. That would make it less likely for newcomers to [beep] up ther config completely trying to follow outdated guides... > For serious music making many Fedora musicians use a combination of the > Fedora repositories, planet-ccrma, and rpmfusion-free/nonfree > repositories. I have 3 kids with guitars. I have a keyboard somewhere. I need to learn how to set up the software for them :-D Move over Jonas Brothers...
