Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Tim Janik <timj@gnu.org> * Package name : beast Version : 0.9.3 Upstream Author : Tim Janik <timj@gnu.org> * URL : https://github.com/tim-janik/beast * License : LGPL-2.1+ Programming Lang: C++, Python, Scheme Description : Music Composer and Modular Synthesizer Beast is a free software music composer and modular synthesizer. It supports a wide range of standards in the field, such as MIDI, FLAC/WAV/AIFF/MP3/OggVorbis audio files and LADSPA modules. It allows for multitrack editing, unlimited undo/redo support, real-time synthesis support, 32bit audio rendering and MMX/SSE utilisation for synthesis plugins. Beast has previously been shipped with Debian and got removed in 2014. The packaging efforts often lagged significantly behind upstream and in the end the Debian maintainers abandoned it. Now upstream is behind the packaging effort, the intent is for the Debian package to follow upstream much closer and we are integrating packaging builds into our continuous release process - this is already working for a dependant package here: https://github.com/tim-janik/rapicorn/blob/master/.travis.yml Ideally, we'd get helpful review for the packaging efforts from pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org, and hopefully a sponsor is willing to support uploads of the beast package. -- Yours sincerely, Tim Janik https://testbit.eu/timj/ Free software author and speaker.
