I am officially retiring to an advisory position.  This news should 
neither shock nor sadden anyone, because it is merely an admission of 
what already happened long ago.  Over time, I have had to work more 
hours, and I have also picked up more hobbies.  Rosegarden got squeezed 
out, and I just couldn't maintain any standard of quality in my work here.

Rosegarden installs very few files, and those files rarely change.  When 
you compile the source we ship and install it, the majority of data 
files are compiled into the resource bundle attached to the rosegarden 
binary.  The only files we install to system locations related to MIME 
types, icons, and relatively minor things like that.

Note that some distros insist on hacking Rosegarden to install pieces of 
itself all over the place.  We don't officially support those hacks.  If 
package maintainers want to force Rosegarden to store data files a 
different way, those package maintainers can deal with the consequences.
