Please backport Bristol

current version on karmic (9.10) is bristol_0.40.1-0.1

version required bristol_0.40.6-1 available on lucid, (not available on karmic-updates)

of course "bristol-data_0.40.6-1 package" needed, too, for the dependance.

Thanks in advances!

Hi Ilya,

Thank you very much!
Now it works!!!

I have installed both package :

If you want to use bristol with Ardour, for example, you should follow these steps:

1) launch jack
2) start Ardour
3) now start jack
4) open a shell and type: startBristol -jack -b3 (I mean you have to specify the jack driver, -b3 is always for hammon b3)
5) make the connection with jack and play.
