[Bug 1291675] Re: [FFe] LMMS 1.0.0

[Timo Jyrinki]

Thanks for your work so far! Could I get testing done quickly with
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS at https://launchpad.net/~timo-jyrinki/+archive/ppa ?

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:timo-jyrinki/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lmms-common lmms

I needed to do a bunch of fixing to get it into buildable form:
- The sources at lp:~israeldahl/ubuntu/trusty/lmms/lmms_1.0.0 didn't correctly match the upstream 1.0.0+bzr2569 from lp:lmms since some patch(es) were incorrectly preapplied (or not preapplied).
- Removed upstream_fixes, as after syncing that particaular fix/file was already included in the orig tarball ie upstream snapshot.
- Added back the one patch from git that was still missing after this all, ie. Fix-broken-command-line-rendering.-Should-always-che.patch

Now what is at  lp:~timo-jyrinki/lmms/1.0.0_packaging is good in the
senses that a) it builds with bzr bd and PPA, b) orig tarball matches
lp:lmms sources correctly, c) all the discussed patches should be
included.

I've also double-checked that the orig tarball / lp:lmms bzr2569 matches
upstream master branch git commit
255b2a2f49c2c02e728588b2eb3cc8c196468e93, and is essentially 1.0 release
with a couple of additional fixes. The Ubuntu packaging in turn adds two
more fixes that were not in master at the time of bzr2569.

The package is not lintian clean, but neither is the old package or the
one in Debian, so I guess at this point it should be good enough.

If testing is positive, please upload with:
dget https://launchpad.net/~timo-jyrinki/+archive/ppa/+files/lmms_1.0.0%2Bbzr2569-0ubuntu1.dsc
+ dput. The bzr branch  lp:~timo-jyrinki/lmms/1.0.0_packaging  suits too.

Title:
  [FFe] LMMS 1.0.0

Status in LMMS - open source music production tool:
  New
Status in “lmms” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I think it is necessary to get this version of LMMS into the repos, as it has many bug fixes, and HUGE overall improvements, and performance improvements.
  Since Trusty is an LTS, I think the newest available version should get in.

  I have contacted the LMMS-devel list to get a detailed report on the
  changes, and the testimonies of people who have been testing it.

  On a superficial level, it has gnome Mime-type icons, a better icon, and a much improved interface.

  Everything I have used has worked fine, and quite a few things work
  much better (better performance, fixed some massive leaks, etc...)
  There are new plugins (sfxr for one).  The program is now more
  responsive as well.

  I will be attaching the pbuilder log as well
