Have they actually done this? I can't see any mention on the site and
the only thing in the source appears to be "PACKAGER_README" which has
a note about naming the package if built with VST support and the
templates directory. If anything that note suggests they're still okay
with packaging.
Paul Davis regularly states that he won't respond to bug reports filed
against Ardour when its been installed via a distribution or 3rd party
repo ([1] for example).
There is no longer any direct link to the source - you must login, go
past the option to donate etc, however, this is the case for Ardour 2 as
well.
I'd like the Ardour maintainers to weigh in - I think we should package
it anyway. It is open source after all. However, it will require a new
review request ( we should package both 2 and 3 in parallel, but only 3
on the spin, assuming its ready in time).
I remember Fernando saying he has a .spec file available on request.
Volunteers anyone?
regards,
Brendan.
