OpenDAW is debian/squeeze based. Basically all that OpenDAW adds is a few backports from wheezy+sid. The 64studio packaging team (Daniel, Alessio, Free and me) moved on to directly package for Debian; and 64studio.com runs a "backporter" to automagically backport those packages to squeeze=OpenDAW. deb http://apt.64studio.com/backports squeeze-backports main deb-src http://apt.64studio.com/backports squeeze-backports main Oh and OpenDAW throws in some distro pre-seeding to make the default debian installer more "pro-audio" friendly. ..and yes, it installs JACK2 by default. There's also an old - but very robust real-time kernel - in OpenDAW which will at some point be superseeded by the /official/ debian RT kernel. The latter is already really good but not quite "64studio quality", yet. rgareus@opendaw:/tmp$ uptime 01:32:09 up 127 days, 21:05, 11 users, load average: 1.02, 1.05, 1.05 rgareus@opendaw:/tmp$ jack_bufsize 32 zero x-runs since bootup with linux-2.6.33.7.2-rt30. We have not yet managed that with a 3.2 kernel under load. > if im > just going to download a 2 year old debian iso, and start building my own > packages to get current versions of multimedia applications, i might just > choose to install debian, and go from there. also, AVlinux really fills > the niche that 64studio once held for me.. AVlinux is much more relaxed when it comes to licensing. 64studio was very conservative when it came to codecs and non-free software, etc. OpenDAW is following DFSG, too. > http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html ... im so glad to see activity, and > Quentin, im glad to see you are enjoying openDAW.. but unless i see > something that makes me think it is being actively developed, im going to > assume openDAW is vapor-ware, and not bother digging the iso out of that > sneaky forum post that accidentally leaked it. im unclear on why the domain > names are being paid for anymore actually.. anyways.. 64studio was *so* > awesome! "If you know what you are doing, you'll be given more to do." :) The 64studio team fell for that and is very active in the wider scope of multi-media production solutions - mainly through sourcefabric.org (airtime, newscoop) and was on slashdot.org today with BookType. With the advent of a countless audio/video distributions, we felt the best way to support the community is to work upstream at debian and linuxaudio.org, rather than maintain yet-another-linux-distro. > my only problem is the way that nothing was said to the large > community of supporters that it was not going to be developed any longer, > as a matter of fact, that is *still* *not* *being* *made* *clear*! In short: Go for Debian. The long story begins.. Around 2009, there's been some corporate interest which motivated to re-name the 64studio distro into OpenDAW. Back then it was hard [for Daniel] to announce things before the deal was closed. At LAC 2010 sourcefabric came up and the deal was no longer interesting, so we silently released OpenDAW beta to the public a year later, yet somehow the announcement was lost to Fukushima or sth more important. "life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." As things look now, OpenDAW will likely be merged completely into Debian, although no-one has yet stepped up and created a cdebconf flavor, that's why there's still opendaw.iso images; besides, we still like the option to create custom distros on demand; although there has not been any until this thread popped up. @Quentin: yes, please. A writeup would be welcome. It's actually exactly what we need. I suppose we can learn a lot about what we're missing! Cheers! robin > On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 5:33 PM, Susan J.
