[arch-general] Ardour 5.6 released - status on update
Hey everyone, Not to be impatient, but Ardour had another update today to version 5.6, and the stable repo's only have version 4.7 and testing only has 5.4. Nearly a month ago Ray Rashif promised to get 5.4 pushed to stable before the end of the weekend, though that appears to have fallen by the wayside. No criticism to Ray, as I am aware that he is was devoted to this thesis defense, but I would really love to see this package updated as it is more than a year out of date at this point. -Britt
Hey Britt, We've kind of all experienced delayed package updates and I recommend the following, it will let it take it's natural course! 1.) Flag it out of date, probably is already 2.) Inquire with the package maintainer directly over email and offer suggestions or to help 3.) Seek a co-maintainer or become one yourself On 11/02/17 05:10 PM, Britt Yazel via arch-general wrote:

The maintainer is certainly aware, that much is plainly evident! Flagging a package out-of-date does nothing other than make the maintainer aware, it isn't some magic oldness-slaying bullet.
2.) Inquire with the package maintainer directly over email and offer suggestions or to help
I think we can safely assume from the tone of the email you are replying to (and, for that matter, the previous emails in this mailing list on the subject) that that has already been done.
3.) Seek a co-maintainer or become one yourself
How do you recommend someone become a co-maintainer of a package in the [extra] repo, keeping in mind that becoming a TU requires considerably more than the current maintainer's willingness to share? And TUs can only push packages to [community], not [core] and [extra] ... Please, helpful suggestions only! And keep in mind this is not the aur-general mailing list, so AUR-specific advice is not helpful (and I suspect ardour users don't want to see it dropped to the AUR either). -- Eli Schwartz

Hey all There is no excuse for my tardiness here, thesis defense or not. I have updated ardour now in testing. I will not delay pushing to extra this time. Thanks for all your patience. Best, Ray On 12 February 2017 at 07:32, Donovan Cameron via arch-general < arch-general@archlinux.org> wrote:

Hi, did you notice this http://lists.ardour.org/pipermail/ardour-users-ardour.org/2017-February/0282... ? Regards, Ralf
Ralf,
No, thanks for pointing that out. Since we don't track master we'll have to
backport the particular fix if they don't tag a release.

Hi Ray, they did provide a new version: http://lists.ardour.org/pipermail/ardour-users-ardour.org/2017-February/0282... I anyway build the Ardour package myself. However, most likely I'll stay with [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ sudo systemd-nspawn -qD /mnt/archlinux pacman -Q ardour5 [snip] ardour5 5.5-1 to avoid any risk for my current project that was started with Ardour 5.5.

No, it's broken, AFAIK users either should stay with 5.5 or upgrade to 5.8. Regards, Ralf

He's short in time ;). In the meantime users could use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ardour5/ Regards, Ralf
Sorry guys really no excuse other than "RL". Some of the other packagers
did help to update a few of my packages but ardour seems to have been
missed, most likely because it remained in testing. I have updated and
moved immediately to [extra].
