[needs-packaging] Upload Carla as a replacement for jack-rack

[Ross Gammon]

As Debian in in the Buster freeze now, it is not possible to get Carla uploaded to Debian in time for Ubuntu Studio 1904.

I will upload it there eventually (Debian RFP bug):
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=804235

It would be good to get this uploaded to Ubuntu in the meantime.

Erich has the package working in our Ubuntu Studio autobuilder. I am in the process of tidying up the packaging.

A little change in plans. len-ovenwerks and I discovered that, as it turns out, Patchage is still in active development despite not having a release in >3 years.

Either way, Carla is a more intuitive and technologically plugin host than Jackrack, so that should be what is replaced.

jack-rack, sorry for the wrong package name.

[Erich Eickmeyer (eeickmeyer)]

Just one thing to add: The version I packaged is 1.9.13 (2.0-RC3). falktx hopes to get 2.0-RC4 soon, and has given himself a rough deadline for a 2.0 release for the end of March. Depending on the timing, it would be good to get 2.0 (final) in for either an FFe or SRU, depending on the timing.
