Mandriva studio - for sound freaks?

[viking60]

This must be Interesting for you sound freaks out there:

As some have noticed recently, some crazy packagers have started to improve a lot of the "lyrics" stuff in the distribution. Jack2 is now replacing jack by default, a lot of synths, plugins, etc have appeared or been upgraded, etc.

In order to help them providing a "Mandriva Studio" edition, we try to produce an iso AND an updated task-sound-studio where we will try to find a balance between default setup and user experience. This is a work in progress and should not impact cooker directly since the task is a meta package and most applications should not be altered, except the "studio ones" (ladspa, ardour, etc).

We also try to syncrhonise our releases with the official Mandriva relase to not re-invent the wheel, and if possible, there will be a 2010 Spring studio (beta is currently building, should be available in late afternoon).

The project was started by some French musicians (have a look at http://linuxmao.org and http://linuxmao.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index ... e=Mandriva) but is not limited to French-speaking people, a starting point was mandatory, and since this is our native language this is a start. Musicians from all the world, we are happy to get your feedback!

Please note that this is a community-based iso (like XFCE, LXDE, community64, ...) and should not be considered as a Mandriva product "per se", but since all the work is/will be in cooker, report any problem as usual in the bugzilla (http://qa.mandriva.com) for every package showing a problem. We will update this topic from time to time.

Our progress is available at:
http://wiki.mandriva.com/fr/Task-Sound-Studio (will become the starting page once everyting will be in place, and at least translated in English)

Other pages:
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Task-multimedia (old, should be merged)
http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?p=354589#354589 (some comments on the topic)

OOh! Looks interesting! I will need to dig out my Yamaha MU10 howto for inclusion (in the Docs if nowhere else). I am willing to help with this as I am trying to get Mandriva to do just this.

Yep! And I gotta get my mixer back, out and go for it, too. See how it does anyway. Capsaicin I'm very interested in, have been for a good while.

With Mandriva being sold, I'm wondering where this will go, though.

Any updates on this? I believe the MDV wiki is probably gone now?

[viking60]

Yeah I think you are necrobumping here Long gone and dead I think

The Mandriva wiki and Forum are about to be archived and dumped. The plan is supposedly to make them available in read-only mode from the OpenMandriva servers. As of this moment they are still available, including the pages linked to above.
