Re: [LAD] distros migrating to JACK2?

Ok Marije, Arnold, Philipp :) programs don't depend to the development files, so I perceive that they should be separated. Today for 64 Studio 3.0-beta3 = Ubuntu Hardy we do have a package jackd including /usr/bin/jackd. A package jackdbus including nothing but copyright, TODO etc.. A package libjack0, including /usr/lib/libjack.so. A package libjack0.100.0-0, including nothing but copyright, TODO etc.. A package libjack-dev, including the headers. A package libjack0.100.0-dev, including nothing but copyright, TODO etc.. And than there are the libjackserver packages, IIRC there aren't such packages for Karmic. Again, I'm using JACK2, I prefer JACK2, I won't have any issues when JACK2 will become default for all distros, but other people might like to keep JACK1. Because at the moment JACK1 is default for some distros, I know the troubles, when I changed to JACK2 or when I just compiled the current version of JACK1, like I did for Karmic, fortunately my favourite distro already ships with JACK2. For Karmic I've got 5 dummy packages and one package that really is needed. $ ls /media/disk/usr/src/dummy-packages jackd_0.118.0_all.deb libjack0.100.0-0_0.118.0_all.deb libjack-dev_0.118.0_all.deb libjack0_0.118.0_all.deb libjack0.100.0-dev_0.118.0_all.deb $ ls /media/disk/usr/src/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.118.0/*.deb /media/disk/usr/src/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.118.0/jack-audio-connection-kit_0.118.0-1_i386.deb For Suse I don't know how to build dummy packages, first I ignored the broken dependencies when doing upgrades, then I have had enough and installed the regular packages, deleted all files and build the version of JACK I wish to have. I don't understand the reason why this can't be changed. 2 Cents, Ralf
