Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Debian's rosegarden4 1.0 package is built with no DSSI support, which has been a great source of consternation and confusion to Rosegarden's users who run Debian. We at Rosegarden are preparing to release version 1.2, and we really hope that our new release will be made available to Debian users with synth plugin support available. In order for that to be likely, first Debian needs to package DSSI, so the Rosegarden package maintainer can build against the API.
The dssi package includes the API, which should probably be a dssi-dev package, and will serve only as a build-dep for applications like Rosegarden at compile time. It also includes some example hosts and example plugins, all end-user runtime files, which should probably be a separate dssi-examples or dssi-plugins package (or perhaps two packages, one each of dssi-example-hosts and dssi-plugins.) There are also three more refined end-user plugins available from DSSI, called fluidsynth-dssi, xsynth-dssi and hexter. These should be packaged too. I elected to mention them in this report rather than creating separate WNPPs for each of them because I thought that would be less obnoxious than flooding the database with individual requests. Forgive me if this was a bad choice.
