Can anybody please help updating Audacity package? I cannot help this
time. Despite this package has 2 maintainers, the software is no
up-to-date and is highly unstable and crashes every time you use it

Speaking as a maintainer of it, the short answer is that I have not had time to untangle the mess that is the most recent upstream 2.4.2 release. Upstream has made many changes that are becoming unfriendly to packagers in the recent release that I haven't had the day or so it would probably take to sort through them (they completely removed their autotools build system in a patch release - with no deprecation warning and without a fully working CMake build system that can use system libraries, they are switching to their own fork of wxWidgets and are starting to enforce its usage by build system checks, etc.).

I basically took the package to make sure it didn't get retired during the FTBFS after GCC 10 landed, but I am not a daily user of it. If you want to help maintain the package, just let me know and I can add you.
