Okay Allan, that info is rather useless:
- The ACL "homepage" is a useless page about XFS
- The source URL is the Arch ftp
- The old source URL doesn't even contain the source of our current version

So tell me, where do you find ANY source or information on this package?




Hi,

We were just looking at this package for Arch Hurd and noticed that
Debian and Fedora use that version which has a nice build fix for Hurd...


Here are some better urls for homepage/source:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/acl
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases-noredirect/acl/

Hi guys

I'm forwarding this here just for the record, in case anyone else gets
questioned about this:

Hi

JACK2 is not going to replace JACK1 anytime soon.

There has been at least one discussion regarding this on the Linux
Audio User and/or Developer mailing lists, where Paul Davis, one of
the primary developers/contributors, discourage distributions to make
this transition (eyes were on those that actually did it). I do not
recall the topic URI to cite, but anyone curious can get in touch with
upstream to verify.

Both branches have functioning APIs - the JACK1 API is tried and
tested. JACK2 is an improvement and an alternative for SMP machines,
but not a replacement.

However, thanks for the nudge. I have been wanting to add a "jack2" to
the repos but never got to it. Expect it in [community].

Regards

Hi all

Forwarding to the AUR list because it seems my reply did not reach the
user (Christoph Pegel aka "rio"); jack was marked out-of-date again.
Please read below and don't do this for a third time.
