Btw, Ardour3 seems doable. If you can come up with a proper list of what's missing, I can look into it. Paul (author of Ardour) doesn't want packaged Ardour3 until it's out of beta, but once it's out of beta it would be interesting and doable. I highly doubt any successfully built packages would meet the Fedora packaging guidelines (Ardour3 has quite specific requirements, and Paul prefers the in-package versions of certain libraries be used instead off the distribution's versions), and thus would be a candidate for a third-party repo. And, of course, this isn't Fedora, but packages in the CentOS core do follow the guidelines (pretty much, there are exceptions, obviously) that were in effect for the corresponding Fedora version (F12/13 in the case of EL6, of course). Kdenlive similarly has very specific requirements, and they change very frequently. I am in a position to be able to test such packaging, too. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[/sheepish query] I personally would find a CentOS-equivalent to AV/Linux ( www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html ) to be nice. It doesn't really take that long to get used to LXDE (which AV/Linux uses as the only desktop) and it's already tuned for multimedia. It is, however, like the defunct 64studio, Debian- based. And the version 6 release is the last one, according to its developer. But AV/Linux is fast, light, and fully supports the sort of setup you need for a non-annoying multimedia-creating experience. I'm using in in a few places, and it has been solid. But it is different. The biggest problem I've had with EL6 for multimedia is summed up in two words: PulseAudio (counting that as two words). Good PA/JACK integration, and preferrably an RT kernel, are pretty much required for any pro audio tools (such as the commercial Ardour++ known as Harrison Mixbus). Now, I am running Harrison Mixbus on a C6.3 laptop, but it wasn't the easiest thing in the world to get running. Not the hardest, mind you, but not the easiest, either. And I'm not using it for really high track counts with lots of overdubs; to do that, I go to the Mac and use it with Mixbus. Low-latency audio and support of pro audio interfaces is required, and some of that support is sorely lacking in EL6. I use the laptop when I have a project in the state for final mixdown and I want to work on the mixdown on the road but even then I miss some of the things I have on the Mac, like iZotope's Ozone and Alloy. Or Celemony Melodyne. But I really need the studio monitor setup to hear well enough to do the work when I get to needing the tools in those programs, so the lack of them on the laptop isn't that big of a deal. Other things necessary for multimedia would be Kdenlive and/or Cinelerra. Both are 'unique' in their build requirements. Now, John Stanley knows a thing or two about this, being that he's active with the Rivendell radio station automation software, and his advice (the list of packages for one) is good for these things. The LinuxTech repo has some of the things you need; what would be, IMO, ideal would be something akin to the Fedora 'Jam' spin, but backported to EL6. I've run PlanetCCRMA stuff before, and Fernando does a great job, but they're not EL6 as yet. It may be that the Fedora *12* or *13* CCRMA packages (and there are things only CCRMA packages) will install cleanly; or perhaps the source RPM might rebuild cleanly enough to work on EL6. The biggest issue with an EL6 for multimedia is simply keeping up with the dependencies, since many of the really good multimedia tools have really specific requirements (look at Ardour3 for something of that nature) that may be too new to build easily on EL6. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
