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 ran svn-inject, and my package is here:
svn://svn.vireo.org/rosegarden/rosegarden4
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 ?
yeah. Don't konw what the motivation was there. The rosegarden-devel
list is already talking about possibly moving from scons to something
else:

How did you handle the 'rosegarden' -> 'rosegarden4' rename that was
probably Debian-local, did you just throw it away?
In my current packaging I have kept the debian specific renaming from
rosegarden -> rosegarden4, however I'm hoping this won

The rosegarden and rosegarden2 packages in Debian are both dummy ones:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/sound/rosegarden
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/sound/rosegarden2
and very old:

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/r/rosegarden2/rosegarden2_2.1pl4-2.1/changelog
As we are at it, would it make sense to ask for their removal?
The rosegarden package is a dummy package, but rosegarden2 is not. It
is, however old and dead upstream.
I hadn't requested removal yet, becuase at the time that the packages
were all orphaned, someone expressed interest in rosegarden2 becuase of
a strong dislike of kde. Doing some searching now, I can no longer find
this reference, and since nobody has expressed any interest in the
packages via the wnpp bugs, it probably would be apropriate to request
the removal of rosegarden2.
What's not clear to me is what to do with the orphaned rosegarden
package. Should that now point to rosegarden4 or should it be removed?
or should it become the real package and have rosegarden4 be a dummy
package pointing to rosegarden. What do you guys think?
Thanks,
