Hi, There is interest in maintaining Supercollider for debian, see message below. I thought maybe someone who do the packaging for SC in puredyne could co-maintain it in Debian? It will improve Debian and Debian based distros for music production and art. Also it's very easy to backport a package from Debian (unstable) to Ubuntu PPA. It will be a win win...

Would someone be interested in working with me on this? (I am not yet an uploader) My Alioth username is alexandrequessy. Should I fill a ITP bug? I didn't see its name in the orphaned packages. It has been orphaned in 2008-2009. See bug #454257. Quick link: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=454257 The package can currently be found on github.com/aalex/debian-supercollider: The usual location of the upstream tarballs is: http://sf.net/supercollider/SuperCollider-(.*)\-Source-linux\.tar\.gz I believe this software should go in non-free, since it unfortunately contains at least one proprietary file. See debian/copyright for more info. (search for the keyword "Apple") Maybe we could patch it to remove those files, though. * Package name : supercollider Version : 3.4 Upstream Author : James McCartney and others * URL : http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/ * License : GPL v3 Programming Lang: C++, Smalltalk, Java, Python, bash Description : A real time audio synthesis programming language SuperCollider is an environment and programming language for real time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition. It provides an interpreted object-oriented language which functions as a network client to a state of the art, realtime sound synthesis server. -- Alexandre Quessy http://alexandre.quessy.net/ _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers --- [email protected] http://identi.ca/group/puredyne irc://irc.goto10.org/puredyne
