[Fedora-packaging] Unbundling oscpack and boost libraries under review
Hi all,
I'm porting supercollider (sc - an audio synthesis engine and
programming language[1]) from CCRMA to Fedora. The source tree has a
couple of bundled static libraries which I'm not sure meet grounds for a
bundling exemption.
1. oscpack (open sound control) - the bundled version is significantly
different from upstream. The author of sc has submitted patches but they
were not accepted by oscpack upstream
2. boost_lockfree and boost_atomic - the sc author is the boost dev of
boost_lockfree but not boost_atomic. Both libraries have been submitted
to the upstream boost team for inclusion but are not yet available
outside of trunk (lockfree has been approved but is waiting on review of
atomic [2]).
Eventually these will become part of a boost release but not for a while
(boost 1.53 or later)
Are these good grounds for exemption, or should we wait and simply let
CCRMA host the supercollider package until they become available?
