Hi all,
Do we have a dev here that wants to spend some time with the audio packages? They have not received much love lately...
The jackbeat update requires moving portaudio from [community]. We also have ardour that is quite out-of-date but requires adding several deps to the repos. I updated jack-audio-connection-kit, but it also needs a rework of is rc.d script to actually make it useful and I have not had time to address yet (if anybody wants to do this contact me for the details).
So, what do we do? Is there a dev who has time and interest to take these over? Otherwise do we bring someone onboard to maintain these packages or encourage someone in the arch-audio group to become a TU and move them to community?
Maybe we should pull on a dev specifically interested in audio on linux for things like this. Me, I'm happy as long as I can hear it.
