Hmmm, no right answer... thanks for asking... I've been tracking Ardour2 in fc5/fc6 for a while and the ardour2 package on Planet CCRMA was out a few hours after the announcement. If we keep the "ardour" package name in Extras and transition that package to 2.x, how can Planet CCRMA be compatible with that? I can't do anything on my side, I think (the ardour2 packages have been out there for a while and are installed in machines all over the place). Would the package in Extras include some kind of Obsoletes:/Provides: for that? (I doubt it... :-) For something as crucial to a recording studio as Ardour I'd rather have both installed side by side and test 2.x until I'm comfortable that it is working fine. That's not possible if the package name is ardour, right? -- Fernando _______________________________________________ Fedora-music-list mailing list Fedora-music-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-music-list
