Ubuntu needs a *sf2-soundfonts-general-midi* package that could be then listed as a dependency for any music apps that use sf2 soundfonts (and maybe an *OPTIONAL* sf2-soundfonts-extra* packages). A lot of music apps, software synths, midi players either take advantage of, or *DEPEND* on sound fonts.
Isn't this the right way to proceed? We obviously don't want to package extra stuff with every music package that isn't part of the source distribution, and this way, we can find the few good sf2 general midi soundfonts that are free and appropriately licensed and package them up (or have someone create them, if they don't exist with the appropriate license), and we can put any additional soundfonts that are excellent quality into the "extras" package. maybe install them in /usr/share/soundfonts and modify builds for any programs that use .sf2 files to find them there? -- [needs-packaging] MuseScore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152650 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
