Hi,It's actually quite strange for just a regular Linux user, that a package like NSM / Non-Daw is very easy to build on your local system, with little dependencies, but gives so much headaches to get it in a Debian. Probably no one to blame, but it can be quite a disadvantage of the open source environment.
Anyway, someone made a other GUI for NSM, it also uses the nsmd server API, so sessions are 100% compatible with the ones made in the default NSM GUI.
That will be a more easy candidate to package it in Debian: https://laborejo.org/argodejo/Still quite a shame that I've to conclude that Non-Daw / NSM is still not in Debian after all these years. Especially NSM, Non-mixer and Non-Timeline should be in Debian of course, because it's nice software. Moreover I think it is a nice example of a modular (KISS) design for music production in a environment with the JACK. It's very lightweight software, so it would also be a great candidate for Raspbian.

Hi,I came to the conclusion that I'm not able to get this project done, also because upstream developer is less responsive lately.For more skilled people in this realm there are certainly some options here though, especially if you decide to only package non-session-manager (NSM).It might then be best to split of the non-session-manager in it's own repo and make it build with a makefile and build it with default fltk and not with the ntk toolkit (fork of fltk).It would be still good for Linuxaudio if people would have easy access to the default NSM GUI on Debian, Ubuntu and last but not least Raspbian.See also notes here: https://github.com/original-male/non/issues/280 Regards, \r On 2/28/20 10:47 PM, rosea.grammostola wrote:If I can help someone, with this job, I'm willing too, all though I've not much packaging experience. I know the software and have good contact with the developer. Which might make things more easy.

The Non Session Manager is an API and an implementation for session management. It stores and restoresJACK connections, applications in the session and it's state. When you re-open a session, everything is there where you left it. All data is saved in one folder which makes it easy to share sessions among usersand musicians. NSM is now the chosen session manager by the maintainersof JACK, it works really well. https://media.ccc.de/v/sonoj2019-1902-jack-past-present-future There are about 30 audio applications supporting it, like Zynaddsubfx, Ardour, Qtractor, Carla, AlsaModularSynth etc. etc. http://non.tuxfamily.org/wiki/ApplicationsSupportingNsm After JACK and Ardour it's probably one of the most important packages to have in Debian for people who wants to make music on Debian. Is someone willing to package it for Debian? That would be great!There is also Non-timeline, Non-mixer and Non-sequencer which are reallyworth to get into Debian. http://non.tuxfamily.org/ Thanks in advance! \R
