thanks for the love

i just updated the first post with the most current info (and will do some more adding in a sec).

also, i'll be following the zen kernel patchset (a project from the gentoo forum) and packaging new kernels (both k8 and 686 - only k8 is available right now). currently i have the kamikaze patchset (precursor to zen) at it's last stable release.

you can read about zen here:

and the 2.6.23-kamikaze5 patch here:

Any chance of seeing 64 bit packages in the near future? The small amount of packages in the amd64 section are all very old.

chance? yes.
plans - no.

i need to change organizational and build processes first. right now it's very basic.

I have had tonnes and tonnes of troubles with continuing my audio life after switching to linux, but thanks to this, I can finally set my troubles aside. I can't say how greatful I am to you guys for having a dedicated audio geek oriented repository with the latest packages of every software. Thanks once again.

PS: I am slightly n00bish in my experience with repos, so can someone please give me an apt line that I may add to my /var/apt/sources.list file ?

Hi MetalheadGautham ,

As it says here you need the following repos (can just add the code below directly into sources.list):
Code: [Select]
 ## RareWares/Debian Multi-Media Repository for Unstable
deb http://www.rarewares.org/debian/packages/unstable/ ./

## RareWares/Debian Multi-Media Repository for Unstable - Experimental Staging
deb http://www.rarewares.org/debian/packages/experimental/ ./

## Christian Marillat's Mult-Media Repository for Unstable
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main

## Christian Marillat's Mult-Media Repository for Unstable - Experimental Staging
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org experimental main

The debian-multimedia.org repos are needed since there are some packages have dependancies in them.

Cheers, Arite.

Nice

What does "* flake-enc (officially packaged now)" mean? Flake is now the official flac encoder?

And it's still 32bit only, I presume?

i'm glad to hear the repo is working for testing, also  - thanks shadowking.

and to answer your questions, brent:

after an official debian maintainer picks up a package i have been providing i no longer continue packaging it.

that is usually true unless cvs/svn/alpha upstream releases would not be packaged by the official maintainer (i.e. why i package wavpack alphas/betas, etc.)

if you are using flake-enc, please do the following to change to the official packages:
"apt-get update && apt-get install flake flake-enc-"

...that will remove the package i've created and download the official ones.

i only do 32bit still, yes.
