So.... where do I go from here? I have other packages I'd like to submit
as well (and qsynth[*] is waiting and has had no comments so far - I
doubt it is a perfect package! :-)

Qjackctl is really needed if you want to actually use the recently
released jack package in Extras.

Err, someone has to step up and sponsor. I wonder if I should seek
sponsor status for myself so I can sponsor you.

Or maybe I should just bribe John Mahowald to sponsor you. Heh.

Hmmm, qsynth slipped by me. Not that I'm able to keep up with
fedora-package-review at all anymore. I try and CC myself to any audio
software that pops up.

Fedora 5 planetccrma kernel nightmare;

[Mirco Scara]

I am desperately trying to force yum/yumex to accept the installation of 
planetccrma-kernel-edge but to no avail.
Yum keeps on saying that the planetccrma kernel is oledr than the one 
installed and won't proceed.
How can I solve this situation?



Thanks


Mirco

Maybe this will help:
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/installtwosix.html

Check the "Installing the low latency kernel" section, in particular the
tweak to /etc/yum.conf (which should let you install older stuff) and
disabling /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf so that all kernels
are kept (the default is to just keep the last two, not enough if you
are trying out kernels).

I am not a sponsor unfortunately.

The NEEDSPONSOR bugzilla says:
"People should not sit in NEED-SPONSOR status and just expect
sponsorship.  The
best way to get sponsorship is to continue doing other work, like reviewing
other packages, giving helpful advice, or submitting more packages for review. 
Having approved packages is *NOT* the requirement for gaining cvsextras
sponsorship.  Instead demonstrating that you understand the packaging guidelines
and Fedora process to sponsor members is what is necessary to gain sponsorship."

So my suggestions are:

1. Continue to submit RPMs
2. Post to this list when you do submit RPMs for review (I'll do the same)
3. All of us interested in audio apps should comment in bugzilla

Eventually one of the sponsors will wake up and realize that we need you.
I also think that lots of bugzilla traffic will help get packages reviewed and
approved faster as well.

I didn't see your qsynth submission.  I'll make whatever comments I can today.

FWIW, I'm also actively lobbying for your sponsorship.
