I have now completed a draft of the primary software list, the list of
software that is going to go into the spin[1]. If your favourite piece
of software is not on the list, please shout out so we can see if it's
something we should add. Likewise, if there is something on the list
that makes you go "Hang on a sec!", please say so too, so we can discuss
if we really want it in there.
Any input is welcome, both negative and positive. Use some time to think
too, I won't put the list into the spin kickstart file until the 5th of
July, so we have until then to edit the list as freely as we want.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi Jørn,
I see rtirq is not in the primary list. It would be great to have it if
the kernel boot parameter "threadirqs" is used. Otherwise you would not
prioritize the soundcard interrupts over others and (I think) the
advantage of threadirqs is not used...

It's on the list at the bottom under "Kernel and Drivers" :)

Just had a look at the wiki - the newer single plugins drop the -plugins
tag if there is only one ie. lv2-abGate
lv2core and lv2-ui are deprecated. Now just lv2
Do we need some more scopes/meters? ie. ebumeter jaaa japa
(jmeter/jkmeter) - all very tiny with no extra dependencies
qastools - cool Qt mixer recently packaged

A cautionary note: it's probably a bad idea to have multiple
(certainly many) apps that do roughly the same thing unless there's a
particular justification for each one, as it causes: a. a little end
user confusion and b. fragmentation of usership, making integration
harder and setups less predictable. That said there don't seem to be
any dedicated scopes or meters on the list prior to these.

Might have a look at this one, I know last time I tried to find a
currently-packaged mixer in Fedora they were all disappointing so I
stuck with alsamixer (held onto a gnome-alsamixer for long after it
was retired).

Agreed in general, in this case these all focus on different things.

I have uploaded the kickstart thus far[1]. I built it yesterday and it
ran just fine. I didn't play around with it much, but first impressions
are looking good. The resulting iso file did end up at 2 GB, so I don't
think we should be aiming to fit into a CD, but we might still want to
see if we can trim it down a little

It's in fact a whole live KDE DVD (mu fault - I think I gave you the

You could use the kde-liveCD kickstart instead and it would be closer to
1 Gig I think. All the packages you used to build your ISO should be
cached - so building new iso's shouldn't take so long
You could try adding the link to the musicians guide (see example in my
last kickstarts mail).

It is, but as a general rule Fedora doesn't allow packaging content
unless it is required by an application. This would fall under the code
not content rule (obviously application documentation is different).
Exceptions can be made of course if the situation demands ...

Fixed it now. I think that was my bad, I just based it off the
science/games spin (don't remember which) and used which ever include
they had. I have updated the kickstart and I'm building in again now.
I'll commit it once I figure out how this git thing work, I'm a SVN guy
myself (yes, they exist) and have not really used git much. I'm guessing
this will be something like "git add <kickstarfile> && git
commit".
(don't worry, I'll figure it out for my self ;)
I'll get on to the musicians guide link right away.

ml. If you set the desktop Categories correctly you can make it sit in the

Chris: there's no Fedora 17 link. I'm not sure how the docs work.
I didn't publish the Musicians' Guide for Fedora 17 because it's out of date.
There's a general trend in Docs where, if a Guide isn't updated for a particular
release, it's not published... I guess to point out the fact a user would be
consulting something old.
As for packaging and including it with the release, I know I've posted about it
previously, but some things have changed:
1.) We could easily justify an override of the "code not content" guideline.
2.) For Fedora 18, Docs will publish everything by building RPMs in koji, which
the web server will download and install onto itself. This is possible because
our documentation-building tools (called "Publican") can build a source RPM at
the flick of a switch.
3.) The web server's RPMs would be different from what we'd include with live
media, so it's still an extra step. But it's a small extra step--if I'm going
to
figure out RPMs anyway, figuring out two slightly different ones isn't a big deal.
4.) Correct me if I misunderstand, but it seems the biggest advantage of the
Guide on the live media is not having to download the tutorial files. That makes
sense, but the largest set of files--and the only set I want to keep in the long
term--is for Ardour. They're copyrighted with CC-NC-SA, so we can't upload them
to an official Fedora Project server (currently they're on Soundcloud). If the
point is actually to have the documentation on the live media, we could craft a
"no-media-files" branch to reduce the space it would take.
PLUG:
If anybody is willing to volunteer an hour or two, to help point out exactly
what needs to be updated in the Guide and how, I'd greatly appreciate it!
List of Potential Changes:
- the LilyPond chapter uses Frescobaldi 1.x
- Qtractor has been updated significantly
- the "real time" portion could use a rewrite
- will we get supercollider into the Fedora repository?
- all the NEW or ASSIGNED bugs on Bugzilla[0]
No single task is large, but collectively it's too much for me. You can even
become famous by having your name listed in the "Contributors" appendix![1]

It would be nice if we could include IDJC. It's the only Free Software
GUI application I know for streaming to Icecast and with DJ
capabilities. It's not a musician's tool, but I think it certainly fits
on an Audio Spin.

I have added IDJC to the kickstart and the primary list. It was actually
a request from the design-list that we include programs helpful for DJs
is this is a welcome addition.
