Description Niels Mayer 2010-07-08 18:03:11 UTC

Description of problem:

Fedora packages an unusable and obsolete version of Denemo. I've compiled and tested the latest version - 0.8.18 - and that should be made available on Fedora, ASAP.

http://denemo.org/index.php/Get_Denemo states "Some
Distributions provide Denemo-packages. Mostly they are not up-to-date.
Don't use a version below 0.8.10. " Fedora packages 0.8.4-3 which is a "don't use version" according to the developers.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.8.4-3

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run dememo 0.8.4-3
2. it has bugs and the developers say not to use versions < 0.8.10
3. run denemo 0.8.18 -- it has fewer bugs.
  
Actual results:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=603460
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=605467

Expected results:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=603460 --> fixed
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=605467 --> fixed
many other bugs --> fixed

Additional info:

Here are my notes on compiling and testing the latest Denemo release on Fedora, posted to Linux-Audio-Developers list: http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/2010/07/0129.html

Comment 1 Roy Rankin 2010-07-13 04:30:01 UTC

my tests of 0.8.18 in fedora 13 indicate that it often freezes on startup. I have filed upstream bug reports on this. I consider freezing on startup a show stopper.  

Also my previous testing of 0.8.16 had issues with default command set(fixed in 0.8.18).
