| | Rackarack is important - fast evolving, very useful software that fills
| | a gap. It is not perfect though: has no LADSPA-Interface and no
| | Amp-simulation but it could easily have it with the next release and the
| | next release can be there in some 2-3 months.
| |
| | So not to have it in Ubuntustudio (where it can be build easily with
| | onboard  dev packages) would not be wise...

I spent some time looking at it this afternoon.  This would be a good
package for someone to cut their teeth on.  Follow the guide above and
use rakarrack instead of their example package, it is not that hard and
there do not appear to be any weird complications.
