[Mageia-dev] Perl MIDI:ALSA module (package suggestion for Mageia)

Sat Dec 8 14:43:47 CET 2012

Hi,
+Thanks to Peter Billam there is now a Perl module that gives Perl 
+complete access to the ALSA MIDI library therefore allowing to easily 
+create programs in Perl that inteface with MIDI capable synthesizers.
+
+I have packaged up this Perl module for Centos 6 and I think it should 
+be straightforward to port the Centos 6 spec-file to Mageia, but since 
+I'm not a Mageia packager (and can't be due to lack of time) I wanted to 
+bring this to your attention with the hope that a Mageia packager picks 
+this up and adds this very useful package to Mageia. 
+
+Here are the Centos 6 files:
+
+Spec-file:
+http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/testing/spec-files/perl-MIDI-ALSA.spec
+
+Source RPM:
+http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/testing/source/perl-MIDI-ALSA-1.16-1.el6.src.rpm
+
+Binary RPMS:
+http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/testing/i686/perl-MIDI-ALSA-1.16-1.el6.i686.rpm
+http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/testing/x86_64/perl-MIDI-ALSA-1.16-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
+
+If you are curious to see what can be done with the MIDI::ALSA Perl 
+module have a look at a program I wrote with it:
