So far so good. Ardour hits testing finally, a RT kernel wishlist bug
with patch is filed, people are working on LV2 etc.
Here you can find more information about maintaining multimedia packages
for Debian/ Ubuntu and joining the Debian Multimedia Team and/ or the
Ubuntu MOTUMedia team.
http://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=817
I suggest add a 'chapter' in the wiki of linuxaudio.org with information
about maintaining packages. The information about Debian/Ubuntu you can
find in my link. But I can imagine that also other distro's like to
write down some information about maintaining multimedia packages, cause
it would be nice if we could improve GNU/ Linux audio by getting more
packages into the different distro's.
Please take some action here.
Kind regards,
