There are a lot of audio apps that depend on JACK (Ardour is no exception- both Ardour and JACK are by Paul Davis). Perhaps this is part of the reason? > Actually, should everything under the metas be suggests > so as to allow folks to compile their own apps? It's a pity that the JACK API isn't 100% stable yet, and that if you manually compile JACK due to a small bug fix in JACK, this basically forces you to either manually compile *ALL* your audio apps or break them. It'd be great to be *able* to compile my own apps, but given the choice, I'd rather not *have* to. If there's anything that can be done in the packaging that would 'soften' the dependencies a bit so as to prevent required mass-recompiles just because of a minor bugfix, it'd definitely have my vote... Keeping in mind, of course, that dependencies are there for a reason and we don't want packages to break either.
