Yet Jack2 is +</I>><i> simply another implementation in C++ of the Jack protocol, and not a +</I>><i> newer version (as the official website also states clearly: +</I>><i> <A HREF="http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/Q_differenc_jack1_jack2">http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/Q_differenc_jack1_jack2</A> ). +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Plus I had a very annoying bug with Ardour when using Jack2, and people +</I>><i> on Ardour mailing list told me it was a known issue with Jack2 (both +</I>><i> Ardour and Jack2 were installed from the Mageia 2 packages). I compiled +</I>><i> Jack1, and it indeed fixed the issue. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> So I am thinking on proposing a spec for Jack1. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> But then I have questions: +</I>><i> +</I>><i> 1/ How should I name this package? The jack2 package is named "jackit" +</I>><i> and I have no idea where you got that from (I guess this is a shorter +</I>><i> name for "Jack Audio Connection Kit", but should we really change +</I>><i> package names this way? +</I>><i> It is not that long). The official alternative +</I>><i> name of Jack2 is "jackdmp" (see README here: +</I>><i> <A HREF="https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2">https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2</A> ). I saw nowhere else this "jackit" +</I>><i> naming. +</I>><i> +</I>We inherit this from Mandrake : in the early years of Mandrake a jack +package already existed but it had nothing to do with JACK (Jack Audio +Connexion Kit) : it was a console frontend for cd rippers, still +provided in Mageia... + +When JACK was imported into Mandrake it had to be given an other name... +so jackit !!! +There was a tonic controversy on Mandrake forum about this in 2003 or +2004 year. +Mandrake and then Mandriva and and then Mageia are the only +distributions calling JACK package "jackit" .... +><i> So I am questioning the naming of this existing package, and would like +</I>><i> to propose some rename along with a new name for a Jack1 package. +</I>><i> Maybe simply "jack1" and "jack2"? Or "jack" and "jackdmp"? +</I>><i> +</I>><i> 2/ How should the virtual dependency be named? +</I>><i> The existing "jackit" spec provides a "jackit-devel" and a "libjack-devel". +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I think that none of the names are really fit IMO. First jackit for the +</I>><i> same reason as before (I don't see where this name comes from), also +</I>><i> libjack (and the -devel suffix) because this kit is not *only* a library +</I>><i> (there are also the jackd daemon, tools, etc.). +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I propose simply "jack" as virtual package name. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> How does this sound? +</I>><i> Thanks. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Jehan +</I>Not simple because of this context ... +If you want to call JACK jack you need to remove first the existing jack +from the repo, and to modify the spec for every package requiring jackit +now, to make them require jack if it is the new package name for JACK . + +Post Scriptum : Reading this I don't know if my explanation is clear +enough ... +A key to understand what I wrote : +"jack" is the name of a package (whatever its content is) +"jackit" is the name of a package +"JACK" is the recursive acronym (Jack Audio Connexion Kit) of the +software you are talking about + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="019748.html">[Mageia-dev] Jack1 package missing +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="019754.html">[Mageia-dev] Jack1 package missing +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#19751">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#19751">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#19751">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#19751">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
