I'm intrigued by guitarix && would like to see it's interface to
jconvolver
be more useful (there's always jcgui, which seems to be the jconvolver parts
of guitarix minus the "the knob goes to 11 so it's really loud" :-)
part.).
IMHO both should be part of fedora since they're basically the same
"pattern" with the same dependencies.
The thing that would help w/ guitarix/jcgui's usage of jconvolver would be
better-working examples & hints for loading them up within the app... see
also http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.planetccrma.general/9587 .
How can I help?
The issue is, it takes time to get packages reviewed since there are
about 700 review requests pending. If we had 2 people on Fedora (1
will package, 1 will review) then things would go faster. But as 1
person, I am packaging stuff and waiting some external person to take
time to review the package. a2jmidi, for instance, I submitted it for
review months ago and nobody looked at it yet.
But I can't force anyone to become a packager. It takes time to learn
and get into it, especially if the person does not have some
programming background. I am just announcing here, if there is anyone
who can spare a couple hours every week and is willing to do packaging
work, we would be very pleased.
FYI, I have not received reply regarding access to some of the
jconvolver
files:
Yeah, I don't know of an email address of him that he checks and
replies emails. I tried a couple addresses of him I found here and
here but no luck still.
PS: Here's my overall installation "method" for these
updates. (Btw, what
should I do to get rid of the --nogpgcheck option
when i don't want to include the updates-testing repo, and prefer to do it
"manually" as below, yet would also like a GPG check of package integrity:
When the updates get signed and put into updates-testing repo (takes a
couple days after my announcements), you can temporarily enable the
updates-testing repo for once to install specific packages, like
$ yum --enablerepo updates-testing update muse
$ yum --enablerepo updates-testing install ladspa-wasp-plugins
etc. When this command finishes its work, your updates-testing repo
will be disabled.
Cheers,
