[08:08] ScottL: ping [14:36] scott-work: ping [14:50] hi rlameiro :) how are you? [14:55] scott-work: i am fine, and you? [14:56] scott-work: Sorry for the absence. About the UBS controls, it seams to me that this tool is comming to a no need stage [14:56] at least for the things i saw on the mailing list [15:52] scott-work, hi! can you do some testing on a maverick's package? [15:57] quadrispro: certainly [15:57] rlameiro: i am fine as well [15:58] scott-work, please install lives [15:58] rlameiro: big changes afoot for natty: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/ReleasePlanning [15:58] quadrispro: from the archives? [15:58] yep [15:58] and let me know what happens [15:58] quadrispro: i shall do it tonight, anything in particular to look for? [15:59] scott-work, it should crash [15:59] quadrispro: LOL, yeah, that's something pretty distinct and noticeable ;) [16:00] easy to notice :) [16:10] scott-work, what great guy is lives' upstream: seems already fixed in trunk :) [16:24] quadrispro: wow, that is super [16:25] quadrispro: i had given thought to including lives as a video editor because of it's jack capabilities [16:25] quadrispro: but i dont' really know how well it functions, how easy it's UI is, etc [16:26] quadrispro: and to be honest, it sounds neat, but really how functionally relevant is a jack enabled NLE compared to a traditional NLE ? [16:28] scott-work: Yay! Placed a DSL order yesterday (or actually, wife did :o ) so will have better connectivity and thus much more likely participation in the near future! [16:32] scott-work, basically it's designed to be simple, so it provides a an easy and friendly GUI [16:33] scott-work, but the great point is that it mixes NLE capabilities with vj-ing features [16:34] scott-work: it looks very nice [16:35] scott-work: I was thinking also in changing the menus, maybe makind diferent sections for audio apps, instead of having that neverending menu :D [16:35] quadrispro: hmmm, i didn't think about vj-ing features :) [16:35] rlameiro: that is something that has been putted around several times [16:35] rlameiro: the menu restructure [16:36] i dont know what you think [16:36] scott-work, take a look at the features page -> http://lives.sourceforge.net/index.php?do=features [16:36] but at least split midi from audio [16:36] rlameiro: although if we separate the audio apps into two distinct packages, i would expect most users would only install one of them and the menu would be more presentable [16:36] no packages [16:36] but that doesn't mean that we still shouldn't consider moderating the menu still [16:36] just on the menu [16:39] rlameiro: even if we change the menu i would still consider dividing the audio into two packages, i strongly believe that most users do not want both sets (tone generation vs live) of packages [16:39] rlameiro: also, many new pd packages are going into debian lately....a lot [16:40] yes, they are finally implementing the pd extended kind of thing on debian!!!1 at last :D [16:40] scott-work: i think maybe it should be made 3 packages. [16:41] scott-work: Live - Sound Generation - Audio Programming [16:41] Audio programming having : [16:41] rlameiro: is there enough for the audio programming ? in the archives i mean? [16:41] heh, you're already answering :) [16:41] Super collider, Pd, Csound, Clam, Faust etc [16:42] and other nice tools for analisys like sonic visualizer [16:42] http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/ [16:42] is chuck in the archives ? [16:42] maybe [16:43] This will undoubtly get into the "academia" user base :D [16:43] this would certainly make an arguement for another submenu then [16:44] i think super collider is not in there [16:44] well, you can make a "OEM" install for UNI composition and Acoustics departement :D [16:44] that is for sure [16:45] i wonder why supercollider isn't there...i wonder if this is one of the applications that has licensing issues? [16:45] https://launchpad.net/~supercollider/+archive/ppa [16:46] there was a package in dapper :P [16:46] scott-work: from the SC website "SuperCollider is free software (published under the GPLv2 free software license)." [16:46] but i guess it is one of those (like linux sampler) that has licensing issues [16:46] holstein and i talked about making a wiki page where we list the reasons packages are included (over others) and reasons packages are not included [16:46] maybe it will be my first debian package [16:46] lol [16:47] rlameiro: hey :) [16:47] rlameiro: but even though supercollider is gplv2 some of the packages it uses might not be [16:47] I am also thinking if we all try to make the packages for debian instead [16:47] rlameiro: yes, we have been working with quadrispro quite a bit to focus in this direction [16:47] and then it will downstream [16:47] yeah, just a place of reference, so when the questions come up, thats where the answers are well documented [16:47] holstein: yo!! [16:48] rlameiro: he's gotten a lot of lv2 stuff pacakged in debian (and then synced to ubuntu) :) [16:48] 'why dont we have network manager?' [16:48] 'wheres the RT kernel?' [16:48] lol the historic question [16:48] that kind of thing [16:48] + the package decisions being made [16:49] holstein / scott-work it looks like very helpfull. is it going to be FAQ like? [16:50] rlameiro: good question [16:50] hey [16:50] thats a good idea [16:50] hell, its a wiki [16:50] i've thought about FAQ or a matrix, but i kinda wanted to tie things together also with the changes being made with packages due to the workflows [16:50] could be arranged however [16:50] something like [16:50] and change i suppose [16:50] so i'm leaning towards a matrix for the majority of it [16:51] Q: Why doesnt UBS have this XXXXX package? [16:51] but probably some of the important ones (e.g. network manager, -rt kernel) should be in a faq [16:51] A: because bla bla bla [16:51] a FAQ would work for the more "macro" discussions [16:55] you know, this is kinda excititng, it seems like studio has a small group of engaged people who are motived to get things done :) [16:55] we have a good chance to make some significant strides [16:55] scott-work: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/494249/ [16:55] this are the dependencies of super collider [16:55] it seems very GPL Friendly :D [16:56] and debian friendly [16:56] it certainly appears so, but until you read each file of the package you don't really know, i found this out trying to get zynjacku into ubuntu :P [16:57] quadrispro: do you remember if there is a reason that supercollider is not in debian ? [16:57] maybe a mix [16:57] q&a and a list [16:57] scott-work, uh? no :/ [16:58] see you later [16:58] bye! [16:58] rlameiro: well, there you go, maybe no reason at all LOL [17:01] he he [18:29] updated workflows page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Workflows
