Hi,
The FFADO team is proud to announce the first release candidate for
FFADO 2.0.
This release candidate is intended to collect feedback about the library
under wide-spread usage. The code should be free of major bugs.
We are looking for packagers that are interested in creating packages
for their favorite distribution. Please contact us if you can help us
out with this.
I'm working on Planet CCRMA (Fedora) packages based on Jarod Wilson's
spec file. There is something missing from rc1 which is a way to easily
install in a destination directory that is not PREFIX. The package build
environment does not have write access to, say, /usr, and installs in a
"buildroot", for example /var/tmp/faado/ (and inside that you have usr/,
etc, etc).
Usually programs include something like DESTDIR= to set that directory
so that the install can be "redirected" without compromising all the
internal paths and references which should still point to PREFIX.

Release and download information:
http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/rc1
Currently, the installation options are:
* manual build from source
[http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/rc1]
* semi-automatic build from source into a 'sandbox'
[http://subversion.ffado.org/wiki/SandboxInstalls]
* APT repository for Ubuntu Gutsy and Hardy (possibly others)
[http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/apt]
Please test and report issues at our TRAC at http://subversion.ffado.org/
or at the mailing list (ffado-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net). Please take
note of http://subversion.ffado.org/wiki/WritingGoodTickets when
reporting bugs.
We ask all users of FreeBoB that are not yet testing FFADO to try this
release candidate. Note that FFADO can co-exist with FreeBoB without any
problems, so you can revert back to your original setup very easily.
Enjoy,
Pieter Palmers
