Arch Linux Pro Audio » update

Long awaited news

Jon Kristian — Sat, 14 May 2011 22:40:23 +0000

So, we hope you like the new look. This is a long-overdue update to the website to bring a consistent appearance in line with the Arch Linux style. There have been changes in the back-end as well, and that is actually what had held back the update from rolling out sooner.

There is a lot of room for improvement, but a one- or two-man show is not always enough. That is why we have created a separate forum for feedback and suggestions. For obvious issues or feature requests, please use the bugtracker.

Our long-term goal is to eventually have deep integration between the website and external databases, such as the VCS and package repositories. We have a standalone bugtracker in review currently, and we intend to replace our Flyspray installation with it. We also look forward to having an easier VCS contribution process (with regards to setting up permissions and the like).

On other news, there is work in progress currently to have an automated build system for a nightly repository of development builds. We will try to reflect all of our work in Subversion including that of
the website (under the “projects” directory) so that anyone may join in the fun.

That would be all for this announcement – til next time!

Status update

Hello! I just uploaded a temporary design to get a uniform look for the site and forums (I know some of you will be happy about this). We are currently in dialogue with the Arch Linux developers regarding the usage of the Arch Linux logo for our little project, hopefully the outcome of this will be cleared soon, so we can continue working on our very own design.

We have been working on the repo and things are already coming together, there has been several commits made and we will continue developing, until we feel that it can be made public.

Until then we hope you will continue to stay with us, and for newcomers, join #archaudio @ freenode for any questions.

edit: reverted themes due to bugs; back to good old defaults until proper integration. –schiv

New page for those who would like to participate on this project, read more about this here.

The forum is up and running on http://forums.archaudio.org/ There is no need to register twice, the same user/pass can be used on both here and the forums. I hope we can see some activity there.

If you are having trouble building Ardour, it’s most likely because there’s a issue with sCons and python-2.6

Use this pkgbuild for now:

pkgname=scons
pkgver=1.1.0.d20081104
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="SCons is an open source software contruction tool that is a substitute for make."

url="http://scons.org"
license=("custom")
depends=('python')
source=("http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz")
 
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
python setup.py install --standard-lib --prefix=/usr --install-data=/usr/share --root=$startdir/pkg
install -D -m644 $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/LICENSE.txt $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE
