Yes, i have found it, and i am downloading the "eawpats" src.rpm right now. (hmm... sound-font source-rpm?) I will (as soon as i have figured out to do with a "source"-rpm... Any help, links etc? I feel ashamed not knowing how to handle them!) test those patches asap, and will when i have tested them contact ccrma for licensing information etc. And if all goes well, ill find some gui for it - i have found kmid, but not tested it this far. Maybe find a GTK-based one as well, or persuade a friend of mine into learning me GTK :P if i cant find one (maybe make it python-based?). Then i will report back to bugzilla (which version? i am currently running FC2) with a RFE. Does that seem good? First time i acctually do any real work to enchase Fedora Core :D Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk søn, 12.09.2004 kl. 16.57 skrev Janina Sajka: > Kyrre Ness Sjobak writes: > > søn, 12.09.2004 kl. 01.11 skrev Janina Sajka: > > > Kyrre Ness Sjobak writes: > > > > Hmm...
