Hi Tres,
I will try.... I am so busy right now. It might be a good idea to get
lmms as the maintainer of lmms in Ubuntu. It would be better to have
Debian on board with LMMS, though.
But for Ubuntu new version builds, a PPA is the best. It would be good
to have a testing PPA, and a stable PPA. This way once everything is in
place I could upload to the testing PPA for people to test, and then
upload to the stable if everything goes well.
The thing that Ubuntu needs most is a VST only package. So users don't
HAVE to install wine to use lmms. But for this I need a list of the
dependencies for LMMS, and ones that VST needs.
That is the next major Ubuntu bug I want to tackle, but as I said I am
super busy right now.
