Creox [1] does not appear to be updated or maintained as the version (0.2.2rc2) that is currently in Ubuntu Studio [2] (and Debian [3]) was released in 2003. Rakarrack [4], in contrast, released three new versions last year [5] and even has a developers blog [6] that shows activity for this year. Although Rakarrack isn't currently in the Ubuntu repositories, Debian shows packaging for Rakarrack for both Sid and Squeeze [6] so hopefully we can sync easily enough. Dave Phillips even reviewed it in one of his Linux Journal articles [7]. The next prudent steps would be to mail the Ubuntu Studio users mail list, post at Ubuntu Forums and even mail to developer to ask if updates can be expected. If no one violently objects to persuing Rakarrack I will take previously outlined steps.

I think the only reason why we haven't shipped rackarrack was the lack of package. If it's synced from debian, then all is good.
