New version of multimedia metapackages ready
Hi Felipe, There have been a lot of new packages added to the metapackages lately, and several completely new metas added (including the new puredata one). So I thought it was about time to do a new release. I have done a build (make dist etc.) and it is signed and ready to go. Can I have upload rights? Alternatively, you are welcome to take it from git.

Re: metapackages
Hi Rosea, [I hope you do not mind if I quote you on a public list but to my understanding nothing in the mail is really private.] For pkg-multimedia list users: Rosea asked on Debian Blends mailing list about problems using blends-dev and seeing that it is multimedia related I think it is reasonable to discuss the issues here (and by doing so) stress the Blends topic a bit more as I did in[1].

I'm specifically asking because we could actually need some help in the multimedia issue. I'm currently try to push the Blends technique at the Debian Multimedia team (you find the code at svn://svn.debian.org/svn/blends/projects/multimedia/trunk/debian-multimedia and we are probably able to cooperate. I will try to be a bit more verbose. The metapackages I make are for some kind of personal (commercial) support service I have for people who wants to start with producing music on Linux, mostly Ubuntu. For my understanding there is no real need to keep things like this personal / privately for the purpose of a commercial or Ubuntu use. As Debian is Upstream for Ubuntu and Ubuntu might serve as upstream for your commercial distribution pushing things into upstream might not harm at all. I actually see the Blends effort as a good chance to base commercial applications on these subsets of Debian because it makes things easier even for your business. It is finally your decision but the concept is quite open to this application. But I'm open for collaboration. You are good in making the blends structure and I might be able to help you with the packageslists. I'll look into your code. Just feel free to subscribe a reasonable Debian Multimedia list and I hereby repaetedly urge for a non strict packaging related list (like this) but rather than (miss-)using the pure packaging list. Kind regards Andreas.

Re: metapackages
Hi Rosea, [dropping Andreas (subscribed here) and user-oriented list from cc] On Sat, Oct 30, 2010 at 02:41:11PM +0200, rosea.grammostola wrote: On 10/30/2010 03:54 PM, Andreas Tille wrote: [I hope you do not mind if I quote you on a public list but to my understanding nothing in the mail is really private.] It was a message to you and not meant to be public. Not a very big deal to me either. I for one appreciate being kept in the loop: The question was asked in public (I am subscribed to the Blends list too). That said, I do understand you disliking being quoted in public when sending privately - without being asked ahead. I myself have turned friends against me doing that in the past (and try restrain not to not to do it ever more). For my understanding there is no real need to keep things like this personal / privately for the purpose of a commercial or Ubuntu use.

I actually see the Blends effort as a good chance to base commercial applications on these subsets of Debian because it makes things easier even for your business. It is finally your decision but the concept is quite open to this application. I always try to improve the state of linuxaudio cq debianaudio where possible. The question is whether there is really a need for such packages in Debian, because many people prefer the custom way, especially Debian people imo. For Ubuntu you have the ubuntustudio packages. If someone else thinks such metapackages are really useful also for Debian and starts making the metapackages, I'm open for helping a bit. We could share the same code base. All though my personal stuff will likely be different (and changes a lot very often). We discussed this recently here on the Multimedia list, and yes, there is interest. I can imagine how in the end you might want to use a fork of our shared effort, but would certainly appreciate if you would join this team effort for any and all parts possible, and only put into your fork the parts that we do not agree on (e.g. if you want to include packages from debian-multimedia.org which we actively avoid here, or if you want to include DFSG-nonfree parts). So please, if you can be persuaded, join our team! :-D More info here: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
