Could someone with deeper insight in the ardour3
package enlighten me:
why on earth does ardour3 depend on python-gtk2 and (!sic) python-twisted?
Python-twisted is an application framework for internet/event-based
applications. Why does ardour3 pull in such a monster framework?
Most likely, because I did it wrong. I've checked the repo, and apparently, I've
copied the relevant line
from the previous ardour2 package and never checked if it was really
necessary.
Frankly, I don't even know offhand if ardour2 needs it.
So you're saying we can drop it?
Sorry, I started to investigate myself - I think this is caused
by "tools/session_exchange.py" which imports both gtk and twisted.internet.
I've no idea haow useful/neccessary this script is (I tried it but it refused
to accept my ardour sessions).
Looking at the list of files
(http://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/ardour3/filelist)
it looks as if the script isn't even included in the debian package. So, maybe
dropping python:Depends would be a good idea.
Thanks for your work
