there were 16 commits to svn within the last 20

resulting in any visible breakage, we don't know, which is why its not

a pkgbuild to try this out have any grasp of what is going on?
maybe the answer, your answer, is "yes". i'm quite a bit more skeptical.
I'd be as skeptical as you, if that's the question. There are
bound to
be those who just want to "try" ardour3.
right. and that's the whole point. i don't want people who
"just want
to try it" to do so at this point because i don't believe its ready
for them.
i agree. but paul, there could be one benefit to distribution
build-scripts: if they track the dependencies, they make it very easy to
pull in all the required third-party libraries for a3.
that is, they remove a major hurdle for a casual tester that doesn't
want to jump through too many hoops to have a look at ardour, and who is
capable of dealing with pre-release software and the required debugging
procedure.
(need to upgrade my main studio machine soon, and boy do i wish for an
a3-build-requirements meta package...)
best,
jörn
