Just a quick note: I tryed this during the sprint too, and yes, it works, but the reason why is not in Puredyne yet is that not all packages that use jack will work with this version as they expect certain version of libjack0 to be present, the one they have linked to at build-time. They fail with something like libjack0blabla not found, aborting. So this means in practice that we have to identify all packages that use jack, copy them to our ppa and rebuild them, which are still quite a lot of applications, or which is probably better, go through all jack apps and identify those that don't work and rebuilt them against this version of jack. So those who try it, what out for broken applications and maybe create a bug-report so we can keep track of what needs to be done. cheers, krsten http://krgn.goto10.org -- tel :: +49 (0) 30.6233.475 mob :: +49 (0) 178.8540.102 pgp :: http://krgn.goto10.org/pubkey.asc
