right way to upgrade latest jack without braking ubuntustudio?

[Rich E]

I see what you mean about not needing to install from source; I upgraded to
Hardy yesterday and all the packages are available though apt for compiling
Ardour 3.0 from source :)

I don't know if I should have teased myself though, now I still need to wait
a long time before any official release comes out.  But it is looking nice
already.

regards,
rich
