<div class="gmail_quote">Teza, First and foremost, I want to thank you for testing! I would encourage you to report your results at the QA ISO Tracker : <a href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/ubuntustudio/all">http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/ubuntustudio/all</a> For those unfamiliar with the QA ISO Tracker you can read a phenomenal blog post about it here : <a href="http://ubuntutesting.wordpress.com/2009/09/21/old-friend-iso-testing-tracker/">http://ubuntutesting.wordpress.com/2009/09/21/old-friend-iso-testing-tracker/</a> On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 10:04 AM, teza <<a href="mailto:tsaliou75@orange.fr">tsaliou75@orange.fr</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Hi all, I'm testing the Lucid studio beta 1, I think is going to be a great release of ubuntu. I check to see if Rakarrack there was where and yes is there but not the last release. </blockquote><div> 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: <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs</a> 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. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> Any packagers on the list to make a nice deb of the last version of Rakarrack? Regards Tez@<a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users" target="_blank"></a></blockquote><div> </div></div>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: <a href="http://packages.debian.org/sid/rakarrack">http://packages.debian.org/sid/rakarrack</a> 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 <a href="mailto:ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> 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
