as the front page at jackaudio.org notes: "Nobody
should be using
0.109.X". yes, it apparently works but there are so many deep, deep
bugs in that version that i lost count of them.
Good to know, thanks.
i would have been
happier if ever distro had taken careful note of this and replaced
0.109 but of course ... no.
Presumably a lack of effort on the part of the packagers.
no, the bugs were very much deeper than any
distribution patches.
also, please note that (a) debian has *never* pushed their patches
upstream [...]
Yes, that's annoying. I'm upstream for pptp and pptpd, and I have to go
dig in Debian and Ubuntu patches if I want anything to come out of it.
The packagers rarely directly engage upstream. Then again nor are they
*required* to engage by the license.
Also, the
ardour build on Debian may have been adjusted already to
compensate for this problem. ?There are about 6000 lines in the diff for
the Sid version.
once again, these patches have never been pushed upstream. incredibly
anti-social behaviour.
