I'm currently trying to do a write up for my local LUG on multimedia application in Debian, and stumbled upon this question: Is there currently a document that describes what should happen with debian multimedia packages? There are quite a few things that have inter-working functionalities. I know I have documented something in /usr/share/doc/ladspa-sdk/README.Debian, but there are other stuff, such as JACK, and LADCCA, and others.
It would be really nice if all those inter-dependent infrastructure packages could work without manual intervention, as soon as the packages that required them caused them to be installed (through dependancies). I.e. if there are commonly accepted environment variables that point to plugin directories, there should be a commonly accepted place to set them, upon installation. Applications that utilise those resources should be patched, if needed, to read the appropriate environment variables, query the /proc system or read whatever config files the common policy has mandated. This is merely a wishlist from me, as I don't know much about Debian policies. -- Herman Robak -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
