[needs-packaging] LV2 library and plugin

[Stéphane Brunner]

The new generation of audio plug-in library (successor of LADSPA) should be packages in ubuntustudio.

some applications like ingen and zynjacku will use it.

I think that the exiting plug-in should also be packaged :
* SWH http://plugin.org.uk/lv2/
* ll-plugins http://ll-plugins.nongnu.org/
* zynadd http://home.gna.org/zyn/

[Jaakko Sipari (jaakko-sipari)]

Just for clarification... These are the steps to add a working LV2 "environment":

1. Add LV2 libs (this bug)
2. Add LV2 host(s) like zynjacku (LP #183113) and/or ingen. Necessary for the plugins to work properly.
3. Add LV2 plugins like the ones mentioned above. zynadd (or actually zyn) is already requested (LP #183113)

This should really be addressed. I've tried the swh LV2 plugins in Ardour 2.8.3 (compiled from source) and they are great on the interface front.

Another note: there is a 3.0 version of lv2core which is now almost a year old, see http://lv2plug.in/spec. The lv2core package provided in Ubuntu is 1.0, and the comments above only mention 2.0.

Marking this catch-all bug as Fix Released because there is now lv2core 3.0, slv2, invada plugins, and lv2dynparam all in the Lucid repositories. The essence of this bug is a request for lv2 libraries and plugins (both of which now exist in Lucid). Other programs are mentioned here, but separate needs-packaging bugs should be filed on those.
