Considering that we're offering Qtractor because it removes complexity for the starting artist, I'm going to suggest that using your method to get the latest source is going to be a barrier ... if that's what the guide recommends. Is there a reason we can't package and maintain Qtractor for Fedora? I'll go take a look at your SRPMs right now to see what you've got going on, but I'm even more of a novice packager. But I'm sure many of us want to see it packaged (I want to use Qtractor ... from a Fedora repository, preferably.) If we can see that the packages will be in Fedora by/around Fedora 14, perhaps Cristopher will write against those packages, knowing the packages will be in the repo for the reader. BTW, thanks for making your packages available, I'll give them a try and let you know how it goes. (I'd consider recommending that we point readers at a fedorapeople.org yum repo as a workaround because it gives us more flexibility to get them to move to the formal repo when packages are fixed there.) - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41
