Ardour3 has, for a long time, required version 1.0.18 of libsndfile (which has been out for a while now.) Ardour2 recently started requiring it if you're going to build it yourself. Fedora is still offering 1.0.17 in its repositories, though libsndfile is up to 1.0.20 now. Can Fedora please move up to the newest version? It's available from "a somewhat inobvious link" near the bottom of this page: http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/
I need to add that I had to disable libsndfile support of mscore (MuseScore) to make it build on F-10 and F-11. mscore needs libsndfile >=1.0.19. Disabling this made us lose important functionality. I too would like to have libsndfile updated in F-11, and if possible, in F-10.
F11 and rawhide should be doable, F10 have to take a look. How long before EOL?
roughly 65 days.
Ping? Any progress? It shouldn't be too hard to copy things over from devel to F-11 in cvs.
Andreas, could you approve my comaintainer requests on pkgdb? https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/libsndfile I want to fix this bug and others.
