Cool. I didn't realize that rosegarden4 was orphaned at all.
I am interested in getting this thing updated in Debian.
I prefer working out of a svn/cvs repos rather than shifting around
whole packages.
I've looked at rosegarden4 sources and it blew my mind away; it's
using 'scons' for building, and decided to throw away
autoconf/automake/Makefile set up ?
How did you handle the 'rosegarden' -> 'rosegarden4' rename that was
probably Debian-local, did you just throw it away?
