Marcus,
Thank you for the reply. I am an experienced user. I am a Linux/AIX/Solaris Admin, and even use Linux on my desktop at work. I have not worked with Windows professionally for almost 5 years now. I have used Linux on my home desktop since 1997, and that system has been Debian Testing since 2002.
:S sorry
It's not a matter of ability, it is a matter of time. I did build something comparable to Musix with just Debian and Debian packages, but I found the Musix distribution to be smaller and run better than what I built.
That's maybe because we test almost everything related to audio
I don't have time to optimize my Debian system, recompile packages, resolve build errors ...
Sure
When I go to update Musix 0.31 to 0.3x (sorry for version errors in the previous message), I receive warning messages about things to be deleted. I don't have the list with me right now, but I do remember wanting to keep some of the things to be deleted, which will then have me chasing down new packages with version conflicts . . .
Using debian/testing as Musix does give us these kind of problems, that's because I want to make an stable version 1.0 from debian/etch
Musix is based on Knoppix, but I was wondering if it were possible for the Musix project to isolate the music and audio packages more, and rely less on Knoppix for the dependencies and prerequisite requirements.
Well... now we are not based on knoppix to make the upgrade... Knoppix has a few packages to be upgraded... hwdata, hwsetup and some scripts, but the main packages comes from debian/testing, so you need just to upgrade from there.
This way, it may be easier to apt-get or synaptic a specific collection of packages and versions i.e. Musix 0.39.
Sure... this only could be made with more human work related to Musix: now we cant do that, that's why I want to make the future Musix stable/etch, but there will be a "testing" bleeding edge version too, forever, that's my idea, what do you think? And maybe some day we could make a more easy upgrade... but the users often has many problems with apt-get upgrade from testing/unstable because the package dependencies, so maybe it would be better to upgrade all the system from a live-cd install, just like today.
'apt-get install musix_0.39' would be nice.
Sure: but tooo much development work too! It's too uncomfortable to install Musix 0.39? I suggest you wait till 0.40 to be released in a few weeks... Sorry about my pathetic english!
