| OvenWerks | It seems we are missing gmsynth which Ardour from ardour org comes with. Gmsynth is like a-fluidsynth with a SF preloaded. | 04:07 |
|---|---|---|
| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: Yeah, I saw that (but stayed out of the conversation). Looks like it's not available in Debian, which is a problem. It would need to be packaged in Debian for the Ardour in Debian to be packaged against it to trickle-down to us. | 18:48 |
| Eickmeyer | This might be a job for Ross. | 18:50 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: There is a problem with it for debian (likely licencing) | 20:20 |
| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: I don't see a problem with licensing as I look at Robin's github repo. It's GPLv2, which means all that's in it must be GPLv2-compatible. | 20:25 |
| OvenWerks | The sound font has it's own licence | 20:26 |
| OvenWerks | See the readme in the sf directory | 20:26 |
| Eickmeyer | Yeah, I just looked. That license is compatible with the GPL. | 20:28 |
| Eickmeyer | It just looks like nobody has bothered to package it. | 20:30 |
| * Eickmeyer might even ask Robin | 20:31 | |
| Eickmeyer | I mean, it's worth a shot. | 20:34 |
| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: I guess if people really need gmsynth they can get the directly-compiled Ardour. | 20:46 |
| Eickmeyer | At least, until it can get sorted upstream. | 20:46 |
| OvenWerks | or... backports | 20:46 |
| * Eickmeyer shudders at the thought of taking-on maintenance of Ardour | 20:47 | |
| OvenWerks | The thing is, it is really only useful to the same person who would find getting it from ardour.org painful | 20:47 |
| Eickmeyer | Where I'm at with it right now is that we don't directly maintain Ardour. This would be taking that on indefinitely. | 20:49 |
| OvenWerks | I would even be happy if a-fluidsynth could set to auto load one of our sound fonts | 20:49 |
| OvenWerks | (or and fs plugin) | 20:50 |
| OvenWerks | The biggest problem with FS is it doesn't look in the right place for sound fonts by default | 20:51 |
| OvenWerks | The calf variant looks in the user's home directory... maybe the ubuntu version should be patched to have it default to where the system Soundfonts are | 20:53 |
| Eickmeyer | If we take this on, it could be mutually beneficial. Robin wouldn't have to go through Debian since he has direct access to us, and we have direct access to him. | 20:54 |
| Eickmeyer | We could make things "just work". | 20:54 |
| Eickmeyer | (tm) | 20:54 |
| OvenWerks | So far as I know it is basically the same as avldrums | 20:56 |
| OvenWerks | Just a different font | 20:56 |
| Eickmeyer | Okay. So, would we have to take on Ardour or would this just be gmsynth? | 20:57 |
| OvenWerks | just gmsynth | 20:57 |
| OvenWerks | I don't want to do the kxstudio thing (offer the DL package from ardour.org) | 20:58 |
| Eickmeyer | Okay. In that case, I'll work on getting it packaged. It'll probably be a week or two, but I might be able to get something dirty (ala lsp-plugins) this weekend. | 20:58 |
| Eickmeyer | It'd be in Autobuilds. | 20:59 |
| Eickmeyer | Though, with RC around the corner (we're in Final Freeze right now), things are a little busy. :) | 20:59 |
| Eickmeyer | Speaking of which, have you tested the latest daily? | 20:59 |
| OvenWerks | doesn't have to be done right now. | 21:00 |
| OvenWerks | I haven't really done anything computer for a few weeks | 21:00 |
| OvenWerks | uptime says: up 51 days | 21:02 |
| * Eickmeyer slow claps | 21:54 | |
