I wonder what "genius" thought that was a good idea?
Paul, Ardour's author :-)
And he announced it 5 years ago:
http://lists.ardour.org/pipermail/ardour-users-ardour.org/2010-August/02383…
hmm .. that message includes the following line -
"if a single file exists (e.g. ~/.config/ardour3/.offthehook ?) then
no phone home will be initiated"
- which implies that it can be switched off without recompiling? Or
not anymore?
I built the same feature for similar reasons into Praxis LIVE, and
don't have an issue with it, though an optional off-switch is nice!
;-)
Best wishes,
Neil
