Hello,

Since the package version is 1.0, I suppose that "work in progress" can
and should be removed from the description.

BTW: Won't the package work on Debian/kFreeBSD? I found the program
     name to be awfully generic. A "sample" probably means something
     completely for an artist, a physicist (and a linux kernel
     developer;)

Hi Franklin,

thanks for your reply!

You're right, already done.
The following is an updated long description:

 LinuxSampler is sampler backend, thus server-like console application. It
 provides a TCP based network interface with a custom ASCII based protocol
 called "LSCP" to control the sampler and manage sampler sessions. Users
 either have to send commands manually to LinuxSampler, e.g. by connecting
 via 'telnet' or by using 'netcat' or they might want to use a graphical
 user interface (frontend) like QSampler (C++/Qt based).
 .
 It also offers disk streaming capability and supports the Gigasampler
 format which is currently considered to be the best sampler format in
 regards of possibilities and sound quality.

Originally its name is LinuxSampler, so I thought it was a good name,
BTW if you have some idea for providing the package an alternative
name, let me know.

Thank you again!

Yes, using upstream's name is the sensible thing to do (IMHO).

Thanks,

thanks

Hi,

This is an automatic email to change the status of linuxsampler back from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 6 months.

If you are still interested in adopting linuxsampler, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 561443 ITP: linuxsampler -- realtime audio sampler
 owner 561443 !
 thanks

However, it is not recommended to keep ITP for a long time without acting on
the package, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from
packaging that software. It is also a good idea to document your progress on
this ITP from time to time, by mailing <561443@bugs.debian.org>.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,

Subject: not free

Sadly linuxsampler is not really gpl2, it has a noncommercial rider and is thus
non free and unsuitable for Debian :(
