1) What Debian communities for audio software
packaging are you a part of?
Debian and Demudi.
2) How do you install new releases to your system?
Apt-get, for the most part. I run testing (etch).
3) How often do you build your own kernel for audio
systems?
Once every version or so.
4) If you're not running real Debian, what made
you change?
Demudi had more packages. But demudi is mostly real debian now so I've
come full circle.
5) If you are running real Debian, have you upgraded
to etch or sid?
1) Not many. I'm looking through alioth and see
some interesting projects but they have no notice of a package repo and the mailing lists
are full of spam.
2) I usually don't. If I need to I'll try a backport, though this is failing with
the version of jackd in sid. I don't know why.
I used to have issues with a split of packages - some wanting a newer
jack and some wanting an older one. Haven't had problems in at least a
couple of months, I don't think.
3) I try not to as much as I can. Kernel compiling is
a waste of time unless absolutely necessary for device support. I find myself compiling
kernels for sound more than any thing else (video, web services).
I find dealing with stock kernels to be a waste of time. It takes me
five minutes to answer the make oldconfig questions.
4) I'm running sarge, eagerly awaiting etch.
Stop waiting.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
