So - if you want to use the current DAW packages that
are part of
debian, especially if you want to run jack2, you need to be using sid
and not using stable.
Where did you get this idea? Ardour2.8.11 w/jack2 works OOTB on
debian/squeeze.
Definitely DO NOT use
http://www.debian-multimedia.org, the changes it
makes to the various libraries and mplayer etc will give you mp3
encoding and a bunch of codecs that are not in debian, but the cost is
it will often break the DAW packages that are not maintained in this
repository
debian-multimedia.org works just fine as additional repo. for squeeze,
wheezy and sid.
Could you please provide an example where it /breaks/ things or produces
conflicts?
See above, to use jack2, and the huge amount of work
done in the last 9
months by debian multimedia maintainers
There's some truth to that. but Ralf mentioned earlier that he want to
use jack2 from SVN anyway.
you can't be using stable, and a
mixed system will get you into trouble sooner rather than later.
I beg to disagree: I'm running a mixed system
(stable/testing/experimental) without re-installing (just copy it over
to new hardware - i386 architecture) since debian/woody. Apt-pinning
helps a lot and `aptitude` does a great job at resolving dependencies.
I've posted some /etc/apt/ files earlier in this thread.
This
work is continuing very quickly, but will not be in stable until wheezy
becomes the new stable in 2013. In debian terms "stable" means
unchanging, frozen, fully predictable, security related fixes only ...
perfect. >2 years of making music without worrying about the system :)
Well, one can pull in selected "unstable/testing" packages or backports;
usually without updating the bulk of packages.
for a three year lifespan while "unstable"
means changing, volatile,
updated with new work, versions and such like and "testing" means the
candidate for the next stable.
Now that's concise description.
