I don't want to give comments or judgements whether this is/was right or wrong (besides I don't know much about it). But I like to say that I like people who have a different view/vision and I also think it´s good for the Linux Audio world if there are people with different views and let people free to have that. It prevents the community from 'group thinking'. I'm glad that the great info Jacklab provides about setting up a Linux audio system, is saved and so is the wineasio stuff. I hope some people would go on with packaging for OpenSuse, maintaining RT kernel, WIKI, wineasio etc. Thanks for your work Michael. \r

hi michael -- thanks for all your work, and best wishes as you step away from this project! i've hosted a jacklab mirror for a few years, but it has not really been necessary for quite a while now. the SUSE 11 audio workstation i've got running now doesn't even use the jacklab repo. as michael says, packman and suser jengelh are all we need, besides the standard SUSE repos. i consider it a step *forward* that most distros can now be made audio-ready without too much fuss, and the "demise" of jacklab is not such a shock -- it's necessity as a way of getting SUSE functional for serious audio work was superseded a while ago. michael was, of course, instrumental in clarifying how to do that -- the new PAM and jengelh's rt kernel were the keys. i'll go free up my server space that was hosting the mirror now.... cheers! -- .pltk.
