Hi David, FYI: I'm using snd with scheme and couldn't use the packaged version of arch as it seems to have ruby built in. I'm now using a self compiled snd version with scheme in /usr/local, but maybe it'd be good to do it like debian and also package a snd-scheme in arch for people like me. IIRC debian has snd-ruby, snd-forth and snd-scheme (meybe even creating a symlink to snd to make them coexist nicely instead of replacing the snd binary, but my memories are fading).

I've recently started working with the snd editor (the audacity debacle gave me that last push...), and I was just wondering what the rationale is for shipping snd with ruby support, instead of the default scheme? Would it be an idea to keep the snd package in community with the scheme default, and instead create a snd-{ruby,forth} package in aur instead for those that use those?
Hi Kenneth,
sorry for the late reply. I have been fairly busy with other aspects of the distro lately.
Could you elaborate on why it is problematic for your workflow to have the ruby dependency? From what I can see snd is able to use either of the additional extension languages (such as ruby [1] or forth [2]) when compiled with them.
Maybe I don't understand the limitations of the program/build system correctly, but although the configure step [3] seems to imply an "either/or" situation with the extension language, it is not really clear as to what this means in regards to the extension language and the scheme default.
FWIW: With current snd in the repos I am able to open ruby or scheme based files (admittedly there's still a ruby gem missing for cmath though).
Best, David
