That is _great_ news!

I am happy you made that move, and happy for us all to get you deeper 
entrenched :-)

Thank you for replying, and for the good wishes.  I won't bother you
with RFS in the future.  'hopefully won't need them soon anymore either,
as I'm somewhere in the middle of my DD process :-)

Sorry, I don't do sponsoring, only co-maintenance (some are confusingly 
using the term "sponsoring" for both things), and I dislike the 
atmosphere in the Multimedia team so am no longer part of that.

I wish you the best of luck getting your package sponsored - or released 
by a co-maintainer if the package is still in the multimedia team.

I couldn't find the info I was looking for, but I think I got the
package into a good state.  It has been awaiting sponsorship for a whole
month, and at this point I feel like it's not going to get into the NEW
queue with enough time to meet the bullseye freeze deadline.

If possible, would you please sponsor Hydrogen at Bug #976113?

Sincerely,
Nicholas

Please explore any comments in the packaging files, or git commits - in 
that order.  I very much doubt that I have any more information to share 
than is contained in either of those.  Feel free to ask if there is some 
comment or commit message that you do not understand.

I was able to find some of the reasons for the previous packaging
decisions, such has how librubberband causes timing issues (in a drum
machine, this would be RC imho!); however, calling rubberband as an
application apparently does not produce this issue.  I think OSC support
would be really nice to have, but suspect it was disable because liblo
was buggy, and I stumbled upon what seems to be the fact that this is
still the case (https://github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/issues/897).

Why weren't you building the shared lib before?  It looks like hydrogen
might have been statically linked?  That seems wrong to me, so I wonder
what the reason was ;-)

I'm guessing the files that would have gone into the -dev package were
deleted because long ago there was no need.  Do you know if they would
now be useful for something like plugins?

If you can share why these, and other decisions, were made I'd very much
appreciate it.  At this time core functionality, MIDI, and export of
some formats was confirmed to be good (#960539), but I'm trying to be
careful about disrupting more advanced functionality other users may
depend on.

Thanks!
Nicholas

Please go ahead, and please remove me as uploader (not because of that 
change - I am changing away from cdbs myself as well nowadays - but 
because I no longer have a special interest in that package)

I've arrived at the stage of work where my options are to 1) convert
to dh 2) learn about cdbs (specifically why it is overriding
debhelper-compat 13 with compat 5).  I'd prefer to spend my time on
#1.

Do you object to the move to dh?  Also, would you like to remain an
Uploader or would you like me to remove your name from the list at
this time?

Thank you,
Nicholas

Given that you haven't been active in Debian for a while, and given
this message I understood that your intent was to drop yourself from
Uploaders, so I went ahead and committed that change.

Please let me know if I was mistaken, and I'll revert that commit asap :-)
