[needs-packaging] Wired

[Roman Polach]

Wired is a professional music production and creation free software running on the Linux operating system.

It brings musicians a complete studio environment to compose, record, edit and mix music without the need of expensive hardware.

Wired supports unlimited Audio/Midi tracks playback and recording, and introduces a Plugin system for instruments and effects. It handles live instruments (through sound card analog or midi inputs), virtual instruments and sound effects. It manages the most used plug-in types (LADSPA, DSSI). It is composed of racks, a sequencer and a mixer. Its intuitive graphical interface is user-friendly for amateurs whereas its abilities cover every needs of a semi-professional public.

Hi! I've packaged this, and it should soon be available in Ubuntu Gutsy. I've just got to fix a few issues about unsourced PDFs with upstream, and it will then be uploaded. I'll contact Debian too.

[Toby Smithe (tsmithe)]

I just sent this to the Debian BTS for the bug above:
--
Hi. I noticed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/114634 and I really
don't want to have work duplicated (and I realise now I should have
pushed harder on getting this into Debian sooner), but I have already
packaged this, and as I said at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/114634/comments/1 , "I've just
got to fix a few issues about unsourced PDFs with upstream, and it will
then be uploaded."

The current source package is available at:
deb-src http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio/ feisty main

And I maintain the debian/ sources at
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntustudio/wired

I'll be packaging up the "dfsg" version soon, if I can't get a release
from upstream with the PDFs sourced, which include:

./wired-0.4/src/portaudio/docs/portaudio_icmc2001.pdf
./wired-0.4/src/portaudio/src/hostapi/asio/Callback_adaptation_.pdf
./wired-0.4/src/portaudio/src/hostapi/asio/Pa_ASIO.pdf

I've built this package so as not to require the portaudio in tree, so
perhaps I can work on having that entire directory removed.

Thank you,

Toby Smithe

http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio/ seems to be down.

[Toby Smithe (tsmithe)]

I've moved development to my PPA. Sorry for any inconvenience.

http://ppa.launchpad.net/tsmithe/ubuntu
https://launchpad.net/~tsmithe/+archive

However, there are currently issues with upstream communication, and the way they build their libraries, so I'm waiting on them before furthering any efforts to have the package included either in Ubuntu or Debian.

Yes.

This project is a study project at Epitech (Paris, France), so the development team changes each year, and may stop during holidays, or intensive study exam times.

Note:
Please make packages for all cpu architectures including AMD64.
They have a binary for ubuntu i386, but AMD64 is a great multimedia platform, so there would be quite a bit of interest from people with this cpu.

I see that the Debian ITP was automatically closed due to no activity for a year. Toby, are you still planning on packaging this application? If not, please set the status back to 'Confirmed', and assign the bug to 'Nobody'. Thanks.

[Toby Smithe (tsmithe)]

I am no longer working on the packaging for this application: the last time I looked it required a lot of work, and I simply do not have the time to persevere. Apologies for the disappointment.

[Daniel Gimpelevich (daniel-gimpelevich)]

It was a pain getting it to build for Oneiric, but it's in my PPA now, FWIW. When was the last communication with upstream?

[Jörg Frings-Fürst (jff-de)]

last release 2009-07-27
change status to Invalid

[Daniel Gimpelevich (daniel-gimpelevich)]

Why is this invalid?

[Jörg Frings-Fürst (jff-de)]

Hi Daniel,

wired is outdated.

Last code change in 2009

Last Blog entry from 2007

Therefore is "wired" without active development at the moment.
