Hi all,

I've been a bit busy lately so I haven't been able to update the
debian package yet. I have already made some progress[1], but I've
stalled and there are some items missing:


1. Documenting new copyright holders and licenses (mpa and any new
opcodes/contributions).
2. Checking if backwards compatibility has been lost (not likely) or
if forward compatibility has been lost (that is, if a program compiled
with 5.15 can run with a 5.14 library).

I would encourage anyone interested in the debian packages to try to
look into these items, and if they want to produce patches (or join us
in the debian multimedia team), even better :). If not, I'll try to
finalize the package next week.

5.15 is not backward compatible with prior loadable opcodes.

Felipe,

I had a look, but I've never done Debian packaging with git before
(I have used bzr, darcs and svn). Do you use the techniqies listed
here?

     http://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit

It seems you don't since there doesn't seem to be a pristine tarball.

Do you have any docs on how to work on the csound packaging?

Erik

I do follow those guidelines (more detailed guidelines found at [0].
However, the scanned synthesis opcodes are non-free, and thus I have
to repack the tarball after removing the source files.

The closest thing I have to documentation is README.source (available
online [1]).

We do use CDBS, which means that most of the boilerplate code is
hidden away in some included makefile snippets. If something special
needs to be done, then targets are extended (package/build,
package/install, etc targets in debian/rules).

If you have more questions, I'll happily answer them.
