Wonderful, Andres.

Two questions:

1) Is, indeed, -Ma the appropriate flag in Linux (OLPC)?

2) Is there any way this feature can be incorporated in the update download 
for OLPC? (I'd surely like to do, and work with, such an update.)

Hi,

It's now working. I've committed the code as file InOut/rtalsa2-gpl.c,
since it is licensed under the GPL because it takes code from the alsa
examples (specifically the code for the amidi utility).
I haven't modified SConstruct for building this file as I'm not sure
how the licencing issue should be handled.
If you want to test, you need to build the module yourself and place
it in the OPCODEDIR directory.
To build this version instead of the original rtalsa module, change the 
line:
    util.makePlugin(alsaEnvironment, 'rtalsa', ['InOut/rtalsa.c'])

to:

    util.makePlugin(alsaEnvironment, 'rtalsa', ['InOut/rtalsa2-gpl.c'])

(be careful with indentation).

maybe someone who is set up to build for OLPCsound can try this?

Cheers,
Andrés

Yes, with the module you can now use -Ma both for portaudio and alsa
MIDI realtime modules.

I would think that the module should work on any x86 architechture
provided the API version is the same. Since the version on the XO uses
api version 5.1, and current Csound version use api 5.2, I don't think
the module I built here will work.
Maybe it's a good moment to update Csound on Fedora and Debian to
Csound version 5.10 or even 5.11?

Cheers,
Andrés

I am now frequently using a Linux computer (Eeebuntu on a netbook). I
have built Csound and CsoundAC on this machine with many of the
options. What are the additional steps required to update Csound on
Fedora and Debian to a newer version? Maybe this is something I can
help with.

Regards,
Mike

Any help is appreciated, Michael. The debian packages for 5.10 have
(finally[1]) been uploaded to debian, and should hit the mirrors in a
few weeks (due to some bureocracy related to the api version bump).
The first thing you can do is monitor the bug page for csound
(bugs.debian.org/csound), and provide feedback. I usually bring to the
list any issues not directly related to debian packaging that are not
easy to fix, but they haven't been much.

Review of the patches we apply (available at
http://patch-tracking.debian.net/package/csound, always select the sid
version) would be good. The patches are numbered as follows: 0xxx are
patches taken from cvs, no need to review those. 1xxx patches are
those that could make sense to import into cvs. If I haven't submitted
them it is probably because they are a bit hackish, but a similar
solution could be implemented. 2xxx patches are specific for debian
issues (install locations, for example).

If you really want to get into the details of the packaging, the
package is developed using git, the repository is at
git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/csound.git. I think we are good
on that front, though.

Ubuntu picks up packages from debian and just rebuilds them.


[1] We took very long in this update because of the api bump: the
original package was not prepared to handle this and we had to do some
extra work before producing working packages.

Felipe Sateler

I forgot to say, you can suscribe to the bugs of csound via the
package tracking system: packages.qa.debian.org/csound
