Spec URL: https://nphilipp.fedorapeople.org/review/ardour4/ardour4.spec

Description: Ardour is a multi-channel digital audio workstation, allowing users to record, edit, mix and master audio and MIDI projects. It is targeted at audio
engineers, musicians, soundtrack editors and composers.
Fedora Account System Username: nphilipp

NB: This is major version 4 of ardour, and installable in parallel to the legacy versions 2 and 3 (ardour and ardour3 respectively). We keep the old versions around to ensure maximum compatibility when handling sessions created by these old versions, but users should use the latest version for new sessions.

Comment 2 Nils Philippsen 2015-04-28 12:31:29 UTC
NB^2: I have built packages in COPR so the functionality can be easily tested, these will be updated if changes are necessary. To ease transitioning, the packages will have release numbers of "0.x", I'll flip that to "1" when the review is through for the build in koji.

Comment 3 Jonathan Underwood 2015-04-28 16:10:34 UTC
I am a bit snowed under this week, but if noone has picked this review up by next week I will.

Funny, I did exactly that over the weekend to test (in my own build server)... :-)

Thanks for taking this up!

I had to remove the "--lv2-system" config option from the waf call, add "canvas" to the internal library list and change ardour3 to ardour4 in the desktop and mime xml files. That gave me a (very untested but functional) package.

Yeah, the differences in building are minuscule compared to ardour3. I basically did what you did, plus this:

- adjust minimum required jack version to 1.9.10, this prevents the package from being built on F-20 ATM
- build with the additional new alsa and dummy backends, add BR: dbus-devel
- do some shenanigans to treat normal and locale data files (which reside in /usr/share/ardour4/locale now) differently -- we want pull in the latter with %find_lang so simply listing %{_datadir}/ardour4 won't fly

Comment 6 Brendan Jones 2015-04-30 01:53:00 UTC
This is largely not that diffreetn from ardour3. This is APPROVED

Thanks for the review!

I'll make a couple of changes to fix the remaining issues:

- Don't install the offending static archive (which previously was dynamically linked to a different private library), I've submitted this upstream.

On starting ardour4-4.0.0-1.fc21 I get the dialogue box with:

WARNING: Your system has a limit for maximum amount of locked memory. This might cause Ardour to run out of memory before your system runs out of memory. 

You can view the memory limit with 'ulimit -l', and it is normally controlled by  /etc/security/limits.conf

You can increase the memlock value for your user to more than 4GB of RAM -- it's set to that value in /etc/security/limits.d/95-jack.conf. I'm not sure about the reasons for the warning because it seems to work fine without doing that.

Comment 15 Be 2015-05-08 05:25:27 UTC
If users should start new sessions with Arduour 4, then I think this package should be called 'ardour' and the current 'ardour' (2) should be renamed 'ardour2' if kept in Fedora. Users are going to expect the latest version of ardour to be installed when they install the package called 'ardour'. When I first tried Ardour around a year ago, I thought Ardour 2 was the latest version for a while until I explored the Ardour website and realized there was a separate package in Fedora called 'ardour3'.

Is it really necessary to retain Ardour 2 and 3 in Fedora anyway? Because Ardour 4 was released recently, retaining Ardour 3 would make sense because users are fairly likely to have Ardour 3 sessions that they want to work with. Are there many users who still actively work on Ardour 2 sessions? Is it worth having this awkward package naming situation to retain backwards compatibility with software that has been outdated for years? To me, that doesn't seem very well in line with Fedora's foundation value of "First".

Comment 16 Nils Philippsen 2015-05-08 15:59:52 UTC
(In reply to Be from comment #15)

The reasons for the status quo are two-fold:

- Session files of Ardour v2 are incompatible with versions >= 3. The later versions can migrate old sessions, but some information may be lost.
- To introduce version 3 in the then current stable Fedora releases it needed to get a different name, hence "ardour3".

I've made a proposal on fedora-music-list how to deal with this issue in the future, to make transitions a little smoother and new/current versions easier to discover:

I'd appreciate your comments there.
