Dear mentors and Debian Multimedia Team, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "fluid-soundfont".
* Package name : fluid-soundfont Version : 3-1 Upstream Author : Frank Wen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://tsmithe.users.ubuntustudio.org/fluid-soundfont_r3.tar.gz * License : MIT Section : sound It builds these binary packages: fluid-soundfont-gm - Fluid (R3) General MIDI SoundFont (GM) fluid-soundfont-gs - Fluid (R3) General MIDI SoundFont (GS) The package is lintian clean. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fluid-soundfont - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fluid-soundfont/fluid-soundfont_3-1.dsc The upload would fix these bugs: 466612, and enable a hell of a lot of functionality in MIDI-related packages. I would like to quote from my Ubuntu Feature Freeze Exception request[0]: "As you can probably tell, to provide a SoundFont in the Ubuntu archives will be a vast increase in usability in all software dealing with MIDI synthesis, as previously we were unable to offer an out-of-the-box functioning system. Whilst we have freepats, that leaves a lot to be desired, and a SoundFont is far more desirable than the mass of old patch files. Inclusion of fluid-soundfont will enable users to play back MIDI files with any number of software synthesisers (and, if gstreamer-midi is enabled, this will include gstreamer-based software) and compose music (with packages such as mscore or rosegarden), to list just two tasks." I am very keen to improve the state of MIDI applications in Debian and Ubuntu, and fluid-soundfont will definitely aid in that. I hope this can be swiftly uploaded, as the longer it waits, the less likely it will be allowed into Ubuntu Hardy.
