Ubuntu Studio Lucid

[Scott Lavender]

Teza,

First and foremost, I want to thank you for testing!  I would encourage you
to report your results at the QA ISO Tracker :
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/ubuntustudio/all

For those unfamiliar with the QA ISO Tracker you can read a phenomenal blog
post about it here :

You have some really good points and I would like to address them.

Unfortunately it wasn't until after we went into Feature Freeze that we
noticed another version was available and in the Debian repositories (which
would have allowed a relatively painless sync).  However, since we were past
the Feature Freeze to include the new version becomes more difficult at this
time.

We could ask for a Feature Freeze Exception but not only would the new
version need to provide substantial usability improvement but it would also
require appreciable testing to help safeguard against regression.  This is
probably not tenable at this time due to limited developer availability.

However, in an effort to prevent this occurrence in the future I would ask
if the community at large notices new version of existing applications then
please file a bug against those packages.  Here is a rather good help page
that explains that process:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

Make sure that the Ubuntu Studio Developers are subscribed (not assigned) as
well so that they receive a notification email.

This way we can make sure things are updated as often as possible.
Remember, community involvement is an astoundingly important asset to the
quality, depth and viability of Ubuntu Studio.

I believe what you are soliciting is someone to make a .deb and not an
actual package available in the Ubuntu archives.  If this is a true
ascertainment then please note that Rakarrack-0.4.2-1 is already is
available in Debian Sid.  I believe it would be easy for someone to acquire
the .deb file from there:  http://packages.debian.org/sid/rakarrack

But, additionally I am hoping that shortly after Lucid release we can sync
from Debian and therefore provide official updates via the Ubuntu
repositories.


The last thing I wanted to mention, not directly related to this email
perhaps, is that any packagers that would want to work on official packages
for inclusion into the archives are encouraged to contact the Ubuntu Studio
developer team, either by mailing list at
ubuntu-studio-devel at lists.ubuntu.com or on IRC at #ubuntustudio-devel.

This same invitation stands for anyone who would like to facilitate Ubuntu
Studio development!  Please help us provide a timely and quality product,
and remember, _everyone_ can help.

Regards,
ScottL
