Problems with ntp

2005-09-13 Thread Nathanael Nerode
I just discovered that the ntp source is a nest of licensing problems. The arlib subdir isn't distributable. Neither is the entire libparse subdir, or anything else by Frank Kardel. I'm not actually sure it will build without these bits. So I guess NTP should be removed from Debian. It's not ve

JACK/KDE/FLTK and other transitions

2005-09-13 Thread Nathanael Nerode
It appears that the KDE transition is totally tied up to the jack transition, via arts. I see no plausible way to break this linkage. The JACK transition is currently waiting for fltk1.1, thanks to zynaddsubfx and spiralsynthmodular. But there's little point in breaking that link, because... Th
