Musicians' Guide Version Questions.

[Christopher Antila]

Hello again:

Over the past few days, I've been trying to work out details that
require knowing which version of certain software will be available from
Fedora's standard repository in Fedora 14.

The packages are:
jack-audio-connection-kit : will this be based on jack1 or jack2?

qtractor : will this definitely be available?  It seems to be in rawhide.

supercollider-* : to confirm, these will *not* be available in F14?

Also, here is a list of the other included software.  If you happen to
know that a program will be changed dramatically in F14, please let me
know, so that it can be documented correctly.
-ardour
-qjackctl
-frescobaldi
-lilypond
-solfege
-rosegarden4

Thank you for your assistance!

Christopher.

Hi, we are working on preparing jack2 for Fedora 14. One of its
dependencies, ffado, is being reviewed, when it is done, jack will be
updated to 2.

This is an RPMFusion package. It will be available on RPMFusion.

I cannot say "it won't be in Fedora 14". Someone might submit a review
request and by then, and we will have it for Fedora 14. Otherwise we
won't.

Most likely we will have a 2.8.x. If 3.0 is released by then we might
consider adding it to F-14.

These will be whatever the latest stable version is

I don't maintain these two. I cannot say anything.

Again, we will go with the latest stable version, most probably 10.0x.

Best,

If somebody feels like going for it, please try to not reinvent the
wheel. SuperCollider and associated packages are available from Planet
CCRMA. Let me know if I can help.

The latest version of frescobaldi, I think, needs, for building, lilypond 
development version 2.13.19 or higher which is a development version. I 
don't expect a Lilypond stable version 2.14.x will be available when 
Fedora 14 is ready. There are still some problems with lilypond 2.13 but 
also already many very nice improvements and bugfixes.

Just an example to show that things can be a little complicated sometimes.

P.S:

Other topic but ...

Did anyone succesfully try modifying the specfile to build a lilypond RPM 
package based on the latest lilypond development release (currently: 
2.13.27) ? There are some changes compared to stable lilypond 2.12.3 that 
make changes to the specfile, other than just the version number, 
necessary. Until now my attempts have not been very succesful.
