Hello, I was wondering why the non-svn ebuilds (i.e. not 2.999 or 3.9999) are at version 2.7.1 even though there have been several official releases since then. Does everyone use the live ebuilds? I tried using the 2.999 ebuild for awhile, but the code in svn can be flaky and crashes often. I had to revert to the 2.7.1 ebuild, which is much more crash-resistant, but has several known issues that have been fixed in later versions. Particularly, users of midi surfaces can end up destroying data with versions prior to 2.8.5: http://ardour.org/node/3292
Is it hard to update the ebuild to 2.8.7, or is there another good reason to stay at 2.7.1? I'd happily help with the update. Thanks, -- Alex
