Hi Nicholas and thanks for your celerity in answering.
Really appreciated.

ISSE being a wonderfull improvement to libre audio softwares, I hope a 
dev is going to pick it up.


All the best, and thanks for the work already done on it.

Hi Olivier,

Thanks for your message.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to work on ISSE since January 2014 and
was the only coder/developer. I don't foresee my circumstances changing
anytime soon and, as such, would consider the project dead upstream.

That being said, if there's a serious developer out there that has an
interest in keeping the project going, I would be more than happy to
discuss further.

In addition to bug fixes, there are a few obvious improvements that would
make a significant difference and justify inclusion in a larger package
distribution.  Improvements include better handling of large files and a
basic plugin architecture (somewhat started).

Hope that helps.

Best Regards,
Nick

Hi Nicholas, Gautham and Ge,

there is a current discussion about getting ISSE in the debian repo as 
you can read on https://bugs.debian.org/825137


It would great if you can comment on the "is it dead or alive upstream 
?" part of the discussion.


By advance,
Thanks
Olivier

Hi there,

copying the multimedia team in there since they could have some interest 
on it.


I've been using ISSE a few months ago (so the same version than the one 
currently available). From memories (I could be wrong here) :
1) it is crashing every now and then, especialy when trying to click 
everywhere when it's computing the sound file, so can be considered 
unstable (one bad point here)
2) it's dead upstream since it was a students thesis - or something 
similar - project (second bad point here)  but I didn't try to contact 
those ex-students to check if they would have some interest in pushing 
forward the developement,
3) it is the only application doing the job that I'm aware of which is, 
for me, trashing the 2 bad points.


My conclusion is : it could be really great to get it into debian.

I think I saw somewhere (a someone personal repo) a package of it once 
but can't remember where. I can find to dig back further in my brain if 
that can be of help. Please let me know.


Olivier

Hmm, version: 0.2.0 (alpha-release) from 2013… Are you sure it makes
sense to package it? It looks like it's more dead than alive.

There is a procedure in Debian for requesting software to be packaged,
by opening a so-called RFP bug against 'wnpp' (and not 'general', as
you did). You can find more information about how software is added to
Debian under:

https://wiki.debian.org/RFP
https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/

With this email I have updated the metadata of your bug report
accordingly. This way, if/when someone decides to indeed package ISSE
for Debian, you will be notified because you opened this bug report.

Regards,
Christian

Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
Hello Debian Maintainer

This is the first time I have requested a package for Debian. 

Please add ISSE to Debian repositories when you can. It is a useful
tool for multimedia work. I am trying to earn a living through using
and then teaching libre software for multimedia production. ISSE can 
really do useful things. I have tried it in Windows and it works a treat.
Time to get a Debian package if there is not one already. 

I did a search and could not find it. 

Thank you.
