Just wondering if you know the project leader, head
developer... of
Ardour has specifically requested that only daily updated cvs builds be
made until an official release.
I don't think that's quite what Paul said. I think he said that *he*
wasn't making tarballs or RPM's available, not that other people
shouldn't He has also made it very
clear that he is not happy with ditros packaging the product at this
point in time.
Although I don't think it says this on the Ardour site, that seems reasonable
given that it's clearly not ready for production use by the average user. As
Paul doesn't distribute Ardour binaries I don't think he is obliged under the
GPL to make the source code of the project available to distros. I expect he
could even use copyright to prevent binary distribution if he wished.
That wouldn't be a problem if Paul hadn't
already asked numerous high
profile distributors not to make them available yet.
Are there any distros distributing Ardour binaries, other than the specialist
audio distros?
Cheers
Daniel
