The good thing is that, from the moment people started to think
about a special Musicians Spin several interesting packages,
requested by members of this mailinglist, have been added to
the official Fedora repositories.
Yes, getting packages to move from the side current of a Fedora
spin and into the mainstream Fedora is a wonderful thing.
Working oneself out of a job, serves to get people back to using
Fedora to make music, rather than building Fedora to allow it to
be used to make music. I for one am quite happy using Fedora to
make music.
What I would like to see is that I could do something like:
# sudo yum groupinstall "Fedora Jam"
to install a nice selection of must-have music production
software, like what is now in the Fedora Jam spin, after
installing the Fedora version of my choice.
I like the groupinstall idea. I wonder if it is less work than a
complete spin?
Well, I know, it's really easy for me to write down wishes and
feature requests. The real heroes are people like Brendan and
others who have done so much of the hard work.
Queue applause... Yes, anyone who has worked on the Jam spin has
my complete thanks.
