Hi,
I got a contact from Debian Multimedia team about the possibility of coordinated upgrade of JACK package from version 1 to version 2 on SUSE. That is, major distros, Debian, Ubuntu, and others will upgrade the package for jack simultaneously in order to avoid confusion among distros.
From the technical viewpoint, there shouldn't be big obstacles for us -- JACK2 is ABI compatible with JACK1, and it's being used already on Packman repo, IIRC. I think Dave already has managed jack2 stuff in his repo for some time, too. Thus the movement should be relatively simple.
But, my question here is whether this is allowed now for FACTORY / 11.3 at this moment. I know this kind of thing should have been handled through FATE. But if we do this, it should be done quickly in a timely manner. So, I'm asking just here for a quick decision.
Comments appreciated.
thanks,
Takashi
One of my SDR programs (sdr-shell) has needed jack2 for quite a while now and I have been building and using it locally from svn using waf. Something in Milestone 4 causes it to fail, probably an option problem which I am currently trying to track down. I for one would welcome its inclusion. # jackd --version

I have a fully functional jack2 ready for submission it's a drop in replacement for the existing jack. I was originally going to submit it as an update for jack but I've put it in multimedia:libs. There's a "|shared-lib-calls-exit" rpmlint error I must fix before submission to factory.
Thanks.
I just took a quick look. One thing to be fixed is the package name. It should be rather libjack0 instead of libjack2. The shlib package name is defined simply from the so version number.
For devel, keep libjack-devel. Since JACK1 and JACK2 are exclusive, there is no big reason to keep both devel packages parallel installable.
Could you fix these?

Jack2 cleanly replaces the jack package with provides and obsoletes because they cannot exist together. Jack2 provides exactly the same functions and binaries as jack plus libjackserver this is why it's also an update candidate for the existing jack, the tarball is even called plain jack. I'm preparing my home project jack2 to update jack if this is the way to go.
I submitted the updated jack-1.9.5 to FACTORY now. Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
