Hi,
In my opinion you need
1) debian blend metapackages
Allows people to install packages for a certain task, like 'recording'
'mixing' etc.
2) A stable repo with backported packages from Debian testing/unstable
(2a) optional an custom repo with packages which are not allowed in
Debian.
3) A Guide for configuration
In your proposal you want to control too many things imo. Let people
choose themselves whether they want to use pulseaudio or not, whether
they want to use XFCE or Gnome etc.
* Make a Guide for configuration Debian for linuxaudio, WM independent.
Optional/ extra:
- Make a guide howto remove pulseaudio and use Debian without pulseaudio
- Make a guide howto optimize your favorite WM
- ...
Oh and Tango Studio had a package for adding (and/or rearranging) an
extra submenu for audiotools for Gnome 2.
Offering a ready to install installation image costs way too much time
imho.
Most multimedia distro are not sustainable. Besides the fact that
maintaining an distro with an installation image by a single person is
in most cases not realistic, they take far too much stuff on their
shoulders mostly. For instance I don't see why a distro for audio
production should also contain a full list of video stuff.
Yeah, you're right.
I personnally think about something "live-oriented" (as told before), as
I think it's *the* point on which that jack-base system is really
releving compared to the other solutions existing (Live Ableton, even
with ReWire, Reaktor...).
For these purposes I would say there is a need of several video tools
(like Lives, freej, or more basically puredata/pd-extended/gem).
But it might not be of first need, you're right.
Obviously, something able to be used on stage has many chance to be
usable in studio, which is way lighter constraints.
I can
understand that some video apps are nice to have, but better focus on
audio if that's the main aim of your distro.
Also be brave enough to choose. You can't include *all* DAWs, MIDI seq
etc. in the metapackages. A lot maintainers in the past didn't make
clear choices and wanted to offer everything.
I totally agree.
FYI Besides 64Studio, Tango Studio, AVLinux and KXstudio, you can also
learn from one of the better onces, puredyne.
AFAIk it's not continued
atm. They worked with Debian Live cd build system and they have a whole
script which allowed you to build a custom CD. (I think it's called broth)
https://code.launchpad.net/puredyne
Yes, puredyne was great, and their manifesto was just awesome. I'll take
a look.
But as said before I would focus on a Debian Blend approach with
metapackages and a such as Reinhard suggests, plus some additional
documentation and instructions probably.
OK. Thanks for your precision.
