I agree that Carla has a long list of deps. However, it is worth building on one's own system and excluding some features. This is very easy to do, if Carla doesn't find a depend, it just leaves features requiring those depends out. This does mean the user does have to: - build their own - know what they need - know why they are using Carla in the first place - understand that Carla _tries_ to make up for the mistakes of plugin developers or distro packagers. It is a tool to make the best of a broken situation. In general, a better solution is to use the OS the plugin is made for or use plugins made for your OS of choice. -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net

What's with Nedko Arnaudov?

by David Runge

Hey all, is anyone maybe in close contact with Nedko Arnaudov? I've had trouble piecing together the upstream for a2jmidid [1], when rebuilding the package for Arch Linux and tried contacting him. There doesn't seem to be any activity in any of his repositories on github [2] in recent years (not a good sign). Especially in the case of a2jmidid, everything I hear from people when asking them is "this was meant as a quick fix and not to stay around long"... well, it's 2017 and it has stayed around long. Additionally, it is dependency to some things currently in use, such as cadence, etc. Nedko also worked on ladish [3], afaics, which is still dependant on the - long outdated/dead - flowcanvas [4]. I don't see any activity there either (at least not in the past four years). Writing "the site is down" [5] doesn't make me believe that that project is not dead, either. This actively keeps programs such as cadence to be integrated into the [community] repository in Arch, as I will not add flowcanvas back and if upstream for a2jmidid deteroriates even more, it will be removed from the main repositories eventually! It would be great, if someone could shed some light on this. Best, David [1] https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/a2… [2] https://github.com/nedko [3] https://github.com/LADI/ladish [4] https://drobilla.net/software/flowcanvas [5] http://ladish.org/ -- https://sleepmap.de

Ah, so that was the issue. Yeah, we ran into this issue as well. Using git probably makes the most sense, or make use of your distro's mirror functionality (I believe arch offers this as well, not sure though). The tags do actually match with the releases and the tarball names, they are just single integers. I.e. the link we had was "http://download.gna.org/ a2jmidid/a2jmidid-8.tar.bz2", which matches git tag 8. For a list, see http://repo.or.cz/a2jmidid.git/refs, but you probably already checked that.

Fwd: Linux Audio Berlin meeting @ c-base 2017-12-06

by Simon van der Veldt

> Would have some topics to talk about though (pro-audio software inclusion and keeping in the Arch Linux main repositories, amongst others). I'd be interested in this topic as well. Been doing some packaging for audio production applications for gentoo and I'm starting to consider proposing splitting off these specific pieces of software from the main tree because I feel that that could work towards more ownership and by extension a higher quality of the packages compared to the state we're at currently with the "monolithic" package tree. Since for both Arch and Gentoo it's pretty easy for user to add custom packages I'd be interested in the reasons why you would prefer to have the packages in the main Arch repo (assuming that you actually prefer this of course :)).

Re: [LAD] Forgive me, for I have sinned, or: toss your Macintosh, as fast and wide as you can.

by Luddy Harrison

Did you rule out the obvious explanation, i.e., that this Mac had a previous owner, and the previous owner invoked Find My Mac at some point? As to a culprit, I would look to the reseller from whom you bought this machine and not Apple itself. Was Apple even involved directly in this transaction, other than the original sale of the new MBP to its first owner? -Luddy Harrison On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 4:00 AM <linux-audio-dev-request(a)lists.linuxaudio.org> wrote: > Send Linux-audio-dev mailing list submissions to > linux-audio-dev(a)lists.linuxaudio.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > linux-audio-dev-request(a)lists.linuxaudio.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > linux-audio-dev-owner(a)lists.linuxaudio.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Linux-audio-dev digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Music for programming

by Louigi Verona

Hey everyone! I have created a YouTube channel where I am creating playlists of ambient music. As many of you have told me that they enjoy listening to "droning" and other of my ambient creations during work, I have created "Music for programming" mixes. Some of them might feature just one tune, some feature several tunes. Take your pick - and subscribe!

Help: OSC + DSSI not working, at least on openSUSE

by Tim

Hi list. Strange problem here. Any verification especially on other OSs, solutions, comments, observations appreciated. Neither QTractor nor MusE will open any DSSI gui here on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed x86 64 bit. I have built liblo-0.29, and to test, Hexter 1.0.3, and removed their SUSE packages. Same problem. I traced the problem. liblo *silently* fails: liblo: src/address.c: line 594: if ((ret = getaddrinfo(host, lo_address_get_port(a), &hints, &ai))) ... I turned on hexter debugging, and added my own to liblo and hexter: ------------------------------ initOSC() url:osc.udp://linux-2lbs:19899/ ....

Error: Timeout - synth gui did not start within 20 seconds. ------------------------------ What's going on here? The name (linux-2lbs) and service (port number 19899) are valid. That's the URL given to MusE by liblo when we start the OSC server thread. And we pass that to the gui executable. When I run "hexter -test" the gui *does* appear: ------------------------------ TIM: TIM: hexter main() start hexter_gtk starting (pid 23447)... hexter_gtk: listening at osc.udp://linux-2lbs:16029/test/mode hexter_gtk: rebuild_patches_clist called hexter_gtk: update_performance_spin called for 'pitch_bend_range' with 2 .... hexter_gtk: update_performance_assign called for 'breath_assign' with 2 TIM: osc_host_address:0x90bc60 TIM: osc_configure_path:/test/mode/configure ....

[gui is now showing] hexter_gtk on_test_note_button_press: button pressed TIM: lo_address_resolve host:localhost port:9 hexter_gtk on_test_note_button_press: button released ------------------------------ I added a full range of UDP allowances in my firewall and even tried turning it off completely, thinking it was a UDP blockage thing, but no luck. Something further to do? The only difference I see is host "linux-2lbs" vs. "localhost" but the former is in fact my machine name. Hexter does a few tricks to run in test mode, so I'm not sure how relevant the second test is (with "hexter -test"). Thanks. Tim. The MusE Sequencer project.
