[arch-proaudio] Added packages since June 2019
by David Runge 18 Aug '20

Hey all, here are some changes to the [community] repository (and the pro-audio group in particular) since June last year (holy cow, time flies!). Added packages: * fluajho * patroneo * gxplugins.lv2 * adlplug * bslizr * ebumeter * pd-gem * haskell-tidalcycles * wolf-spectrum * zita-dc1 * foxdot * geonkick * qmidinet * deteriorate-lv2A * mephisto.lv2 * vico * surge * xmonk.lv2 * adljack * bsequencer * bshapr * jack-stdio * jack_delay * jackmeter * jackminimix * ninjas2 * element * iempluginsuite * midimsg-lv2 * surge * xmonk.lv2 * liquidsfz * sfizz * ambix * bchoppr * helm-synth (replaces helm due to naming conflict with the kubernetes tool) * jack_utils * ir.lv2 * jack_mixer * new-session-manager * agordejo * muse * distrho-ports These are the more or less top-level additions (some of them dragged in interesting makedepends or checkdepends such as redkite, abletonlink or lv2lint). There have also been a few removals, such as raul (more or less defunct and unused) and non-session-manager (replaced by new-session-manager). The vst3-plugins package group has been added for packages that provide vst3-plugins (I still need to bring the SDK to the repos for hosts to make use of it...). You can inspect the various audio related groups with pacman: pacman -Sg pro-audio pacman -Sg lv2-plugins pacman -Sg vst-plugins pacman -Sg vst3-plugins Unrelated: Many of the lv2 plugin packages are now being linted using lv2lint (and problems being reported upstream) which hopefully improves the overall quality of the plugins over time. If you have further suggestions for package additions, please let me know! Since my last mail in regards to package updates I have not done too many changes on audio related wiki pages (due to time spent on more infrastructure related topics in regards to Arch Linux). I would like to encourage you to be active members of the Arch Wiki as I think that especially the pro-audio related articles leave much to be desired. Also, if you would like to package (pro-audio) packages for Arch Linux do get in touch (e.g. for a Trusted User sponsorship)! I realize that at around 500 packages it gets a little tedious... :> Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de

[arch-proaudio] realtime kernels in unofficial user repository
by David Runge 08 Aug '20

08 Aug '20

Hi again, since October 2019 I'm co-maintaining the linux-rt [1] and linux-rt-lts [2] PKGBUILDs in the AUR which have been taken care of by Joakim Hernberg for many years. To that end I provide an unofficial user repository [3] which can be used to install prebuilt binary packages of the two kernels. Best, David [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-rt/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-rt-lts/ [3] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_user_repositories#dvzrv -- https://sleepmap.de

[arch-proaudio] pd-faustgen package
by Albert Graef 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

Hi David, This is a very nifty software, a Faust external for Pd featuring live compilation using the libfaust JIT, by Pierre Guillot from CICM - Univ. Paris 8 (you might still remember him, he was at LAC@c-base a couple of years ago, IIRC). In the past few days, I've worked with Pierre to make this work without any hitches on Arch, using LLVM 10 and the current Faust version (2.7.2). You can find my PKGBUILD here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pd-faustgen/ It would be really nice if you could adopt this package and put it into community, that would be much appreciated. The package is pretty easy to build (it uses cmake and includes most of its dependencies), there's just that pesky `WARNING: Package contains reference to $srcdir` that I've forgotten how to deal with. I'm sure that you can get rid of it. ;-) This is still under active development, so timely support is guaranteed. :) In particular, I plan to work with Pierre to bring pd-faustgen's features up to par with Stephane's Max faustgen and my own pd-faust, adding stuff like MIDI and OSC support, so that I can eventually get rid of pd-faust and just use pd-faustgen instead. Many thanks in advance! Albert -- Dr. Albert Gr"af Computer Music Research Group, JGU Mainz, Germany Email: aggraef(a)gmail.com, web: https://agraef.github.io/
