Plugins should use whatever extensions they please. Plugins should under no circumstances /require/ extensions unless it is absolutely necessary to do so for the plugin to work at all. Given this, there is little need to "limit" yourself. Necessity is necessity, regardless of what the house judiciary committee on LV2 extension support decides people "should" implement ;) Easy documentation about which hosts support what is indeed useful, but you can't come up with a "consensus" about what hosts "should" support. They "should" support everything ;) It's what they DO support that matters. There's been far, far, far too much yapping about this on the list at this point. Yes, we need a compatibility matrix or something along those lines. Everyone agrees. There is really no need to continually state it. SOMEONE MAKE ONE ON THE DAMNED WIKI THEN The problem is simply a lack of documentation. The solution is to write it. There is certainly no utility in complaining about these problems at this point. "Those who can do, those who can't complain". Since there seem to be several people who are really, really into this problem.... solve it already. Using mediawiki is not difficult. -dr _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
