Nice.
Congratulations to all involved!
Quick question(s) though... I guess I'm confused how these spins are
supposed to work... the included package list at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_jam#Included_Packages
doesn't mention the "mup" music typesetting package which is now included
in
Fedora; I had added it to the list of packages that should be included on
the wiki page at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Audio_creation_spin_development
There are two sections, primary (must be on the spin) and secondary
(aim to have packaged). You moved it on to primary, 18th April, but
that was after the F19 feature freeze (12th March) and the planned
Alpha release (16th April). I don't know what implications the feature
freeze has for packages included in spins, but I doubt we could
include more packages after alpha that weren't previously planned.
Since picking up new packages from the wiki is manual (so far as I
know), it'd be worth emailing here too if you thought it needed to be
included, especially close to the feature freeze. Also the spins
actually have to get submitted in time for those milestones, so while
there aren't published deadlines for Jam packages Brendan does need
time to get things together. In summary I think, "narrowly missed
out."
Also, the main page at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Jam_Audio_Spin
has a dead download link... it goes to:
http://spins.fedoraproject.org/jam
but should probably go to:
http://spins.fedoraproject.org/jam-kde/
Good spot, looks like Brendan's fixed it.
