ardour 2.8

[Grammostola Rosea]

Hi,

what are the plans for Ardour 2.8?

This is what the website says:


        Distributable VST Support (most for packagers)

Ardour now uses the Vestige header file to allow compilation with VST 
support on Linux. We believe, given the reverse engineering of the 
Vestige header, that there is no more need to fetch the VST SDK from 
Steinberg in order to build Ardour with VST support, and it is possible 
to distribute all source code associated with VST support. This means 
that distributions are free to compile and release packages of Ardour 
with VST support. Linux Packagers: *please* do not call such packages 
"Ardour". They should *always* be named in a way to make it clear that 
they contain VST support - Ardour with VST support is not actually a 
Linux program at all (its a small Windows executable that is linked 
against some Linux libraries, run by a shell script that invokes Wine). 
It is critical that users have the choice to install 1 or the other (or 
both, if possible). To repeat, Ardour with VST support should not be 
packaged as "Ardour". I suggest "ArdourVST" (or ardourvst, for the 
case-insensitive). Please note: VST is a trademark of Steinberg Soft- 
und Hardware GmbH.


Would be nice if it is possible to install both in Debian, Ardour2 and 
ArdourVst

Kind regards,
