Public bug reported: [Impact]
libffado is a linux driver for FireWire audio devices that also includes a development library, an API, and several FireWire tools. While FireWire is a dying breed in devices overall and devices are no longer being manufacturered, in the world of audio it is still very much in use for older professional audio interfaces. While moving from 2.4.7 to 2.4.9 would imply a mere bugfix release, this actually introduces several new features, outlined from the upstream changelogs at ffado.org: * Make various mixer modules work under Python 3.10 and later: Presonus Firebox, Presonus FP10, Presonus Inspire1394 and Yamaha Go. * Deal with the removal of SafeConfigParser in Python 3.12. * Support compilation against musl libc. Thanks to Alyssa Ross. * Remove build-time checks for utilities that are not used (pyuic). * Install the ffado-mixer appdata file only if ffado-mixer has been built. Thanks to Jan Tojnar for the suggestion. * Add a DATADIR option to scons and use it in line with GNU conventions. Thanks to Jan Tojnar for the suggestion and the patch. * Update the AppStream document with more complete information and in line with current best practice (Jan Tojnar). * Rename XDG files to match modern standards (Jan Tojnar). * Install XDG files manually to simplify the build script and avoid depending on xdg-utils (Jan Tojnar). [Scope] * Backport libffado 2.4.9-1 from plucky * Backport libffado 2.4.9-1 to noble [Other Info] Builds in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports-staging ** Affects: libffado (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2095235 Title: [BPO] libffado/2.4.9-1 from plucky To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libffado/+bug/2095235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
