[02:19] <micahg> zequence: I'll take a look at those things
[10:36] <zequence> micahg: Seems to me jack-rack is still in the wily repo. The branch I added just changes the maintainer info in the control file and the changelog.
[13:18] <zequence> Well, git support coming to launchpad.
[15:57] <micahg> zequence: I thought you wanted it to stay
[15:58] <micahg> and Launchpad already has git support (I guess you mean for Ubuntu packages)
[16:09] <zequence> micahg: According Langasek, we needed to upload jack-rack to "assert ownnership in the maintainer field". I read that as we needed to change the maintainer field in the control file
[16:09] <zequence> launchpad claims the support is beta, which is why I said it is coming
[16:10] <micahg> zequence: yes, that's correct
[16:10] <micahg> zequence: did you talk to the Debian multimedia team?
[16:11] <zequence> micahg: No. I just read the bug reports and the reason why it was dropped. Because of upstream abandoning it. But, I'm ok with that for at least one cycle.
[16:11] <zequence> Since, it seems to work, and it covers an area that nothing else seems to do
[16:14] <zequence> https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=740123 and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734020
[16:14] <ubottu> Debian bug 740123 in ftp.debian.org "RM: jack-rack -- ROM; dead upstream" [Normal,Open]
[16:14] <ubottu> Debian bug 734020 in jack-rack "FTBFS: error: unknown type name ‘GtkCallbackMarshal’" [Serious,Fixed]
[16:14] <micahg> yeah, I read those as well
[16:19] <zequence> There may be other alternatives in the future. Best option would be an application that supports all audio plugin types, if one were to be packaged for Debian.
[16:19] <zequence> There seems to be a couple of options.
[16:21] <zequence> None of them packaged yet, though.
[16:30] <OvenWerks> zequence: how important is it that more than one plugin be wrapped in a rack? I am thinking that there are "standalone" wrappers for ladspa, lv2 and dssi... all cli, but maybe a GUI that starts/stops the instance would be enough. So long as it can launch multiple wrappers at a time.
[16:30] <OvenWerks> The wiring would be done in jack in any case.
[16:31] <OvenWerks> thjis would be future of course, not for 1510.
[16:32] <zequence> OvenWerks: You thinking about coding some? From what I understand there are a couple of projects that allow this. But, nothing packaged in Debian.
[16:32] <zequence> I think some people will really want to have that in any case. Supporting all plugin types makes things easier.
[16:33] <OvenWerks> zequence: I am thinking one gui for all, but spawns a simple gui just for each plugin.
[16:34] <zequence> Well, why not? :)
[16:35] <OvenWerks> some of the racks out there that take any plugin are reported to be less than stable.
[16:35] <zequence> I have too little experience myself to be able to share an opinion.
[16:35] <OvenWerks> I will look into it. If I can make each of them work from CLI, then it is doable
[16:36] <OvenWerks> DSSI has one for sure (we use it now for Hexter), I think the others have at least a sample host.
[16:37] <OvenWerks> Anyway, I am out of here for a bit. Talk later
[16:37] <zequence> OvenWerks: Later
=== sinewav1 is now known as sinewav
[22:52] <OvenWerks> zequence: jalv can replace zynjacku
[22:55] <OvenWerks> a gui script that uses lv2ls to list available plugs and lets the user choose one should work. Exiting the GUI kills the plug already. jalv.gtk worked for me.
[22:58] <OvenWerks> dssi_list_plugins and jack-dssi-host will do the same for dssi synths (we have all of four)
[23:00] <OvenWerks> zequence: there is already a lv2rack that only needs a desktop file to work.
[23:15] <OvenWerks> the ladspa-sdk (we must ship as I don't recall installing) has some tools... but they are not impressive. List plugins coredumps after listing about four plugins. Applyplugin only does files not streams.
[23:18] <OvenWerks> lv2rack looks like jackrack updated to lv2 and may suffer simmilar bitrot.
