Hi folks, After getting okays from a few folks I decided to fix the long standing libsndfile bugs.
One of these was a request [1] to split the utilities that come with libsndfile into a utils subpackage. I did this only for F-13.
Since libsndfile is used by so many other software, it is impractical for me to check all of these software to see if any of them depends on these command line utilities. If you have a package that depends on libsndfile, it would be good to check whether it uses these utilities. Then you'll need to require libsndfile-utils directly. If your package just needs the library there is nothing to worry about. Again, the utils split is only made in F-13.
Other than that, libsndfile is updated to 1.0.20 in F-10+. Also, now it has the libvorbis support enabled.
Any chance of getting the jack-audio-connection-kit dependency split out into a sub package?
I think that the jack dependency comes from one of the command line utilities of libsndfile which are now separated into the libsndfile-tools package.
Note that here "now" means F-13+. I didn't want to make the split on F-12 and before as it might break potential direct dependencies on these utilities. This will give packagers a full release cycle to find regressions if there are any. Or am I too paranoid?
