Hi,
Following up on a scratch build from two weeks ago, the audacity project [1] is now at release candidate 1 for audacity 2.0.0 [2], and is expecting to release in another 2 weeks.
I've built packages for Fedora devel [3] and RPM Fusion 16 [4].
I would welcome any help you can give in testing either package, as preparation for release of v2.0.0, and providing packages for Fedora users.
In terms of the testing, while I think a fairly random approach is useful, think about a task you would like to achieve with audacity, and follow through with it, to see that it succeeds.
For problems, please create bugs, or reply to this message with a subject indicating the issue.
Rather than a straight, "works for me", please indicate any functions/menus you did use, so that others might test different functionality.
For mp3/ffmpeg file format support, use the version audacity-freeworld from rpmfusion buildsys instead.

Audacity Team have made Release Candidate 3 of Audacity 2.0.0 available [1], and this has been built for Fedora [2] and RPM Fusion [3].
We welcome installation and testing of any of the capabilities and features of this application, which has been in a long development period, with a lot of emphasis over the past year on stabilization.
If you are able to try audacity out, please leave comments of both successes and failures in Bodhi @: Fedora 15: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-2371/audacity-2.0.0-0.3....
Fedora 16: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-2394/audacity-2.0.0-0.3....
Fedora 17: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-2247/audacity-2.0.0-0.3....
For issues, create a bug in Fedora [4] or RPM Fusion [5], depending upon which build you are testing, and also add a comment to Bodhi, indicating the bug number you created.
