joe,
I am agree with you, it's just the way you expressed it...
I recognize we didn't pay attention of that... and we gonna correct
that... and also we gonna put some messages on the website to prevent
people that it's an alpha stage testing version of ardour...
cheers
j
viva alpha
stage!! which is not the case... this is official package we
found on mirrors...
As one of the folks involved in the Ardour testing effort, I can guarantee
that Ardour2 is considered by its developer as in its alpha testing stage.
Paul has only today released a tarball of Ardour 2, of which he said:
"I have released a second alpha tarball of Ardour 2.0. A huge amount of
work has been done since the last alpha tarball, and although there is
definitely still some important work to be done, this is nearing beta
status. I cannot promise that all of the reports from alpha1 have been
addressed, but they will be before we release a beta."
I'm all for a LiveCD distro of audio/video tools - it's a good idea that
can only help get visibility for the power of Linux in that area.
Putting an immature piece of software, especially one that I consider a
crown jewel of Linux audio software, is only going to hamper the effort.
ardour2-2.0-0.cvs060123.1.mdk2006.0.mde
You say it's an "official package" which doesn't mean much - it's
clearly
a CVS snapshot (and one that's 2 months old to boot) that someone compiled
for Mandriva, likely for testing purposes. Just because it got put in a
repository doesn't make it "official" or even stable.
I highly recommend you use the stable 0.99.2 release of Ardour instead.
