Backport tasks are invalid since 1.3.6 does not exist in the Ubuntu archives.

This upgrade will mostly fix bug 201291.

Maybe we should backport 1.3.5-2 to start with since we havent released
1.3.6 in Jaunty I'm guessing user will be happy about that but i dont
know the package that well.

1.3.5-2 is already in hardy-backports and intrepid. 1.3.6 was released 2 months ago, I think that is what will make the user happy :-)

[Khashayar Naderehvandi (khashayar)]

diff.gz attached for 1.3.6.

Please let me know if I need to attach a debdiff, or if I should change anything (I'm new to this thing :-)). For example, I'm not sure if the version should be -0ubuntu1.

[Khashayar Naderehvandi (khashayar)]

Alright, trying to do it the proper way: Filed a debian bug to see if we can get this in there instead.

[Allisson Azevedo (allisson)]

Audacity 1.3.6 Debian Unstable: http://packages.debian.org/sid/audacity

Please sync with debian version.

[Alessio "Spinus" Moscatello (spinus)]

Marking as duplicate of bug #317254: this one is just subscribed to Ubuntu Package Archive Administrator, so I think that they will do the sync soon!

[Alessio "Spinus" Moscatello (spinus)]

Reverting backport status to New, now Audacity 1.3.6-2 is present in Jaunty archives!
I've tried to build it with prevu but I've got some errors: it can't find automake1.10; so I've backported automake1.10 but it continues to fail with the same error (see attach): maybe prevu uses the default automake and not the latest version (1.10)?

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

You do not need to backport automake1.10. You only have to add automake to build dependencies. Have a look at my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~bdrung/+archive

[Alessio "Spinus" Moscatello (spinus)]

As suggested by Benjamin I've added automake to build dependencies and now it builds fine, I've just uploaded it to my PPA (intrepid). If everything works fine we can ask for a source-change backport...or maybe we could wait for the upcoming 1.3.6-3?

[Alessio "Spinus" Moscatello (spinus)]

If someone wants to test Audacity 1.3.6-2 with Hardy I've prepared a little patch to compile it with the version of alsa-lib shipped with Hardy...
The package is in my PPA: note that I'm not sure that it works correctly! :P

[Lionel Porcheron (lionel.porcheron)]

Only remaining opened tasks are backports tasks. I have unsubscribed Ubuntu Sponsors for Universe.

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

Jaunty now has 1.3.7-1, perhaps that version should be backported instead?

[Khashayar Naderehvandi (khashayar)]

Audacity builds on intrepid with no source changes.
On hardy, we need to use the internal soundtouch, since libsoundtouch is not available on hardy. Attached is the debdiff for a working hardy build.

These packages build on my system, but as of yet, I haven't had the possibility to test run them. Please do so, and report your success.

[Alessio "Spinus" Moscatello (spinus)]

I confirm that it works fine on Intrepid.

[michael37 (misha37)]

To khashayar: I ran into this problem today -- I am using Hardy and libsoundtouch is missing. Is there a working i386 version somewhere? I looked at your PPA and couldn't find it.

[teledyn (garym-teledyn)]

+1 for me on the need for an i386 version of the Naderehvandi patched version for Hardy.
Also, will this update also fix the crash-on-effect-preview bug?

[Evan Broder (broder)]

It looks like this bug requests a backport from Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope). However, as Jaunty is no longer supported, such a backport is no longer possible.

This bug is being set to "Won't Fix". If you would still like to move forward with this backport request, please re-open the bug and adjust it to request a backport from a current release.
