The amount of users who wants LADI are not that large atm. Mainly because they do not know what to expect after the disappointing progress of LASH. When LADI preview 0.2 will be released I expect that at least a part of the community want to use it, so that the ask for LADI and jackdbus support for distro's will grow. That's why I find it important to think about how to handle the jackdbus situation now, before many users start using jackdbus/Ladish.
I'm not surprised myself that distro's doesn't support it yet. It looks like the LA community is searching for ways to handle the situation now. Package maintainers will pick up the results of the discussion and solutions after. Don't forget they also have to deal with Jack1 and Jack2. So first, LADI is not that mature atm, all though progressing quickly now. Qjackctl doesn't work well with jackdbus atm. It's the question (at least for me) what jackdbus means for the use of Ardour. It's still a question about the best approach by distro's. Only jackd, only jackdbus or both mixed? When qjackctl can handle jackdbus in a satisfying way, and when it's clear what a good approach is, jackd, jackdbus or both... then it would be more easy to decide what and how to implement. Maybe you see it in the 2010 distro releases, who knows. Till then, the best way imo, is to have different repo's with jackdbus and ladish packages, which people who want to test or use Ladish, can use. You might want to contact Nedko about how to package this stuff (I think he made some packages for Ubuntu 8.04 a while ago). \r _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
