In terms of am everage use, a library is updated by the various Linux distros in a two years cycle.

If someone chooses a distro with a slow release cycle like Ubuntu LTS or Debian stable they should understand that access to the latest software updates will not be so straightforward. Unfortunately, ~2 years has been about how often Mixxx releases happen too...

I am in doubt that the manufacturer a will ship a Ctlra build along with there hardware.

I don't think this is such a far-fetched goal. Manufacturers have been increasingly open about their controllers in the last few years. For example, Novation has published firmware for the Launchpad Pro:
https://github.com/dvhdr/launchpad-pro
and Ableton published documentation and a demo application for the Push 2:
https://github.com/Ableton/push-interface
https://github.com/Ableton/push2-display-with-juce

I'd imagine it would be nicer to write code for Ctlra than write a big manual with words.

This brings up the question of the license to use for Ctlra. I have suggested using the Mozilla Public License. If you have thoughts about that, join the discussion on the GitHub issue:
