[needs-packaging] AlgoScore

[Hamish Low]

AlgoScore is a graphical environment for algorithmic composition, where
music is constructed directly in an interactive graphical score. The
result is output as audio (through CSound), arbitrary control data
(through JACK ports) for control of other applications, MIDI through
JACK or to file, or OpenSoundControl messages. The generated audio can
be played back through JACK or exported to an audiofile.

AlgoScore has been tested on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, but should probably be compilable on other POSIX conformant operating systems as well.

AlgoScore is free software and is released under the terms of GNU General Public License.

I put this on my ToDo-List. If someone is faster in packaging, please do it! I will start within 14 days working on this.

Why is this assigned to NULL Project?

sorry, I don't know how to file bug reports properly, so much
information to wade through. Thanks so much for packaging this, sorry
I'm not sure what Null project is, I'm just a musician wanting to use
this software and the instructions on the Algoscore site didn't work for
me, all the prerequisites it said it needed were already installed and
yet it said it couldn't find them....

*** This is an automated message ***

This bug is tagged needs-packaging which identifies it as a request for a new package in Ubuntu. As a part of the managing needs-packaging bug reports specification, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Specs/NeedsPackagingBugs, all needs-packaging bug reports have Wishlist importance. Subsequently, I'm setting this bug's status to Wishlist.

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Okay, thanks!

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

The application needs liblo0-dev >= 0.24 to compile. We have only version 0.23 available on Debian. I will fill this as bug.

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Completion of this bug depends on Bug #255360

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Okay, I finished packaging. I will commit this to GetDeb and REVU.

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Committed package request to Debian too.

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

If packaging this requires a more recent version of a system library than available in the official karmic repositories we cannot publish it on getdeb.

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

@Christoph Korn: You're right. I hoped the package would be synced in time for Karmic... As far as I know the liblo lib is compatible with the existing packages in the Karmic repositories - but there is always a little bit of danger left.
Since GetDeb uses an APT repository it makes no sense to add this lib, because everyone who adds the GetDeb-repo will have his/her liblo updated - not all users want this.
@Hamish Low: If the package gets accepted for Debian, you can use the Debian package for Ubuntu. Waiting for a sponsor at REVU takes ages.

[Hamish Low (sub-acoustic)]

Thanks Matthias,

much appreciated!

Can be pubished in Lucid now. (Just making some changes for GetDeb)

Package is waiting in queue.

[Michael Nagel (nailor)]

Can't commit the package at time. We have to wait until the ABS is working again. Please be patient... :-)

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Package built successfully. Just needs to be published.

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Hi there!
I again uploaded the package to the build system... Could someone please publish it on GetDeb? (Christian? Joao?)
I worked with the Debian guys to update liblo, the version present in Ubuntu Lucid is now high enough for Algoscore. Also, the packaging and the patches have good quality. Should be easy to publish.

[João Pinto (joaopinto)]

Mathias,
sorry for the insufficient communication.

The build system is accepting and building packages but is not integrated yet with the new archive hosting, I plan to have this fixed by next week.

I will try to get the uploaded packages from the "dead" archive.

Thanks

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Ah, thanks for the clearification! I uploaded the stuff again about two hours ago...
Where should we upload packages, if the ABS is not integrated yet? (Have I missed a mail or instructions?)

[João Pinto (joaopinto)]

Matthias,
I have disabled the bridge to the old server right now. Uploading for the ABS should be safe.
Please note that after being built the packages will be kept on the ABS queue before being imported to the archive. I am still working on that part.

Thanks

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Won't Fix - Why?

[João Pinto (joaopinto)]

Ops sorry, I made some confusion with other package. I had the idea it required libraries not available for lucid.
Matthias can you reupload the package ?
(Now ABS it's work for sure)

[João Pinto (joaopinto)]

Matthias,
thanks for your patience.

Released on getdeb.
