"jack-audio-connection-kit" is the official name of the project and it has been the suggested name for packages - I could try to dig through my very old email and find an email from Paul on the subject. I have used that name since 2001 or so (version 0.37) - I may have been one of the first if not the first to package Jack as part of Planet CCRMA. The jack1 tarball is actually named "jack-audio-connection-kit", not "jack". As mentioned above jack2 is a different code base that implements the same "official" jack API and was developed independently. Its developer chose to name the tarball jack (I don't know why, we could ask). Who knows what the future could bring. I certainly don't know :-) When/if jack2 becomes the official jack maybe the tarball will change to jack-audio-connection-kit. Of jack1 could evolve, supplant the current jack2 as the next version, and the tarball would still be jack-audio-connection-kit. I would keep the current name. -- Fernando -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
