It would be nice to get Rosegarden upgraded to version 1.5.1 as well.

This new version of ardour installs as /usr/bin/ardour2 (/etc/ardour2, etc), so you can install it in parallel with the old ardour. However, it's also fully backwards compatible with the older ardour, so there's no real reason to have both installed. I was planning on calling the package ardour, not ardour2, and it will be the natural upgrade path for people with ardour already installed. The binaries and directories will still all be called ardour2, but that won't matter to people running it from the Applications menu. I think, however, that this is different from nando's ardour2 prerelease packages. Fernando, what do you think we should do?

The planetccrma package would be an "ardour0" package containing the 0.99.3 release which Obsoletes ardour, and the fedora package would be a new "ardour" package which Obsoletes the planetccrma ardour2 package. This may be a little more work but it... a) enables parallel installs for planetccrma users b) provides a natural, clean upgrade path for everybody This is somewhat similar to how Fedora handles shipping older versions of gcc in parallel with the system compiler. The latest compiler package is always "gcc".
