I'm just making a wiki with howtos, at least at this point in time. I
don't know how to make a real .deb package, nevermind repackage an
entire distro.
A better question would be, why is Demudi still
Debian based rather than
Ubuntu based?
Because DeMuDi IS Debian. If it was based on Ubuntu it would be UbMuDi, which
is essentially what Dana is doing. The DeMuDi-1.2.1 live CD used the Ubuntu installer.
DeMuDi also introduced Xorg in 1.2.1 using the Ubuntu packages.
Positive support and mutual co-operation like this makes for good multimedia
systems. We are about to start thrashing out a proper Debian multimedia
policy over the next few months. Any advice, suggestions, requirements etc.
from the Ubuntu camp could be extremely valuable.
The only things I can think of probably have already been considered.
Everywhere I read seems to indicate that while realtime-lsm is still
supported in Debian, Ubuntu, and others, it is deprecated in favor of
the rtlimits in the 2.6.12 and newer kernels. I currently use the
set_rlimits 1.20 app to access this. So either I would recommend this
be included in Debian or PAM with a proper setup. I don't know
anything about PAM, but I've read that it's the ideal way, and
set_rlimits is mainly for distros that won't use PAM. I don't even
know if Debian uses PAM..
I don't know if Debian will allow a kernel with Ingo's -rt patch, but
from my small amount of testing, it is the way to go. I'm trying to
get one into Ubuntu, and so far, Mark has told me "don't worry, you'll
get it."
There is a lot of software that I didn't see in Debian that some other
musicians would like to see as well. I believe the dssi stuff has an
ITP now, so that's a good thing.
