Hi Peter,
That would be great! The packaging you link to is my most recent
version, however I have been working with the LMMS team directly on
github. We now have a method to fully generate the LMMS packaging for
debian.
You can clone the latest version to get the new code.
basically I have a debian folder in the base directory and in
cmake/linux/debian I have the in files for control, format, compat,
rules, watch, lmms.install and lmms-vst-full.install
The issue with my branch was a change in cmake's modules. Something
changed and cmake was no longer able to find FLUID, as well as certain
other things. Since Ubuntu Wily has a feature freeze I have not been
working on that branch, and have been working instead with LMMS on github.
The most recent addition of value would be adding
%f to the Exec line in lmms.install
Exec=env QT_X11_NO_NATIVE_MENUBAR=1 lmms %f
I am very glad someone else has taken this package up, it was very hard
to get in touch with Patrick Winnertz.
