The most pressing question is to if we do want to enable users to switch their jack implementation in squeeze. Currently that's not possible, but ideas how to rearrange packages, shlibs files and provides have been proposed. I have to admit that I've lost track and don't know if they are still being considered of if everyone has lost motivation to actually implement them. Perhaps you (or someone else) can try to pickup that discussion? I've already announced on #debian-release a few days ago that we might require such a transition, but we'd also need to write a more formal email to debian-release for that.My current understanding is that, yes, we want it to happen. The main issue is people who know how having the time to make it happen. If memory serves, Adrian knows the jack code and upstream the best of anyone here. Reinhard knows about library magic stuff from working on ffmpeg. Jonas knows lots of cdbs magic that might be helpful. Do any of the three of you have time in the very near future to push this forward?
I have time to look at the CDBS parts, but not to discuss much.I notice how Adrian now propose to revive jackd1 as I proposed earlier on. Yes, it is more complicated to do it now than back then when not yet released to unstable. Needs either renamed packages or adding an epoch, I believe (vut kust throwing mud here - as noted I do not have enough time to discuss, so will try not to defend my claims here - if anyone disagrees then please just ignore instead of shooting it down).
