[arch-general] Bringing in alsa-tools
Hey folks I'd like to provide alsa-tools [1] in our repos as it contains some very useful niche tools for some sound cards (mostly pro audio). It is presently in the AUR in one form or another. [2] It comes as one single tarball in terms of sources but the subdirs are self-contained. I'm leaning on providing a split package that will result in about 18--20 packages. You can take a look at the current working package here: http://pkgbuild.com/~schiv/alsa-tools/ There is no specific reason to do this - I just think this would make users happy. As a single package, all it would do is take up a few MBs worth of disk space and clutter up graphical application menus. However, the tools are all for different devices. Let me know if you have any objections to (i) adding this to [extra], and/or, (ii) splitting the package like this. CC'ing arch-general if anyone who uses the stuff wants to comment (advice and suggestions only).

Since I've got serious issues with my RME HDSPe AIO card I welcome this package. It would be nice to get the hdsp stuff separated, but I'm also comfortable when everything is in one package. Thank you Ray. Regards, Ralf

I have decided to just provide a single package as I've received feedback from two users (one off-list) stating that they're not bothered by the other tools. We can always split things later, which is less of a pain than the other way around. Will put it up in [extra], since there has been no objection to that. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
