I'll see if there's anything I should take from your spec files.
And viceversa, I see you did a bunch of improvements in the ardour spec
file! BTW, you may know something about this...
I'm working on what used to be the Planet CCRMA menu. I had this on fc3,
then could not make it work as is in fc4 but it is time I readded it,
and I just did that for fc5 (and will percolate to fc4). It basically an
(optional) submenu of the Audio/Video applications submenu where the
apps are categorized. But the question is about the Fedora Audio/Video
menu. Currently there is no "More Audio/Video Applications" entry in the
applications menu xml file, but there is a "Multimedia-More.directory"
directory file. So I'm adding a merged "More..." submenu in my optional
planetccrma-menus package so that I can push "not so important apps"
from the main Audio/Video menu - otherwise it becomes really really long
with the full set of Planet CCRMA applications (if the optional
planetccrma-menus is not installed they will just not appear in the menu
system).
What would be the category for those? I seem to remember something like
this used to be: <Category>AudioVideo-Extra</Category>. Would this be
fine? (I'm doing that for now)

Yes, I'm not planning on submitting qjackconnect to Extras either. My
recent post to fedora-music-list lists the packages I've submitted so
far.
Oh, I had not seen it. Sigh, I'm soooo behind on so many fronts :-)

I'll grab that.

Ok, thanks for pointing that out.

I didn't know there was a PlanetCCRMA hydrogen package, so I wrote this
one from scratch. I bundled everything in the hydrogen package (kits &
demos), for the same reason.
Hmmm, maybe I'm looking at the wrong spec file, it looks like your
hydrogen package does not have any drumkits in it?

I'm one of those bad hackers who disables selinux. I'll enable and see
what happens.
Let me know what happens and if you find a workaround. I imagine some
sort of magic chcon has to be done on the libraries at build time...

You should mention this here:

I will, thanks for pointing this out to me.
