[15:38] <OvenWerks> re: backporting to 14.04... I can't think of anything I would do that with (jackd maybe). I would rather take the line: finish things started with 14.04 with 14.04 as is, but start new projects with 16.06 please.
[15:38] <OvenWerks> The list of known things not right in 14.04 (off the top of my head):
[15:39] <OvenWerks> Calf plugins (there is at least one bug that can destroy speakers)
[15:40] <OvenWerks> EQ10Q plugins, the GUI was broken
[15:41] <OvenWerks> jackd2
[15:41] <OvenWerks> Ardour has 1000s of bug fixes since then
[15:43] <OvenWerks> qjackctl has a new gui that is much more newby friendly as it hides parameters that can get new people in trouble (system not working)
[15:46] <OvenWerks> zynaddsubfx should be added to 16.10 for sure, even in it's present state, it is a better plugin than yoshimi as it is properly set up to have more than one instance running at a time.
[15:46] <OvenWerks> By 16.10 the new version might be out too.
[15:51] <OvenWerks> Most of the things for 14.04 if we were going to do backports... should have been done a year ago. If 14.04 has gotten along with out them so far, no need to start now. I would suggest put that energy into 16.04. The testing will be easier with people here (hopfully) running 16.04 day by day. Testing 14.04 backports will not get done well, just a quick opens,runs does not show any breakage deeper in.
[16:36] <zequence> OvenWerks: Our users are not used to backports, since they aren't getting any
[16:36] <zequence> but, it is actually something you can choose
[16:36] <zequence> It would be good for us to educate our users about that
[16:36] <zequence> So, that they don't update to backports by mistake, if they were not willing to do that
