Ardour 3

[info at bandshed.net]

Hi,

I agree with Robin, Paul Davis has been explicitly clear on this, I'm
curious as to why there is any packaging of Ardour3 required when it is
now distributed by Paul Davis himself as a universal Linux standalone
binary? Unfortunately various distribution packaging problems (not
necessarily Debian) over the years have played a part in these binary
bundles being created in the first place.

I personally asked about Ardour 3 alphas being included in AV Linux 5.0
and was told in no uncertain terms that A3 alphas or beta were to be
distributed.

Just thought I'd pass that along.

Regards -GLEN
