Current state of audacity: Perhaps people noted, perhaps not ... we are not fine with the current state of the project. Therefore we have tried to integrate tenacity also with a much amount of work in the last days. And with "much amount of work" I mean:
- days and nights working through, weekends included with not much free time
- updating packages needed
- choosing possible solutions for problems and more
So what is the state of all now? Short: There won't be any tenacity in the near future.
Yes, we have managed to get it running. But it is absolutely unstable running and not performing the same as our current version of audacity. So we will do the same as before with inkscape: We will freeze the software and provide audacity-legacy as following our naming-conventions. More details also: We would be able to upgrade wxgtk but at the cost to provide another legacy-version for filezilla as example. Upgrading filezilla results in the need to upgrade gnutls also and with it around this listing: https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/core/x86_64/gnutls/
This is a big listing to be upgraded and we are just talking about one package in the need for a newer library-version for the newer version to support newer wxgtk-dependencies. Sorry, but NO. Hyperbola is many, but not a machine delivering packages without testing. We are acting very careful and want our software running. When we provide such constructs mentioned, we are doing not any kind of favor, for exactly nobody. Not us, not the community. So we stick for audacity-legacy as new package from an older release being compliant for free and permissive licensed software. But this shows also the problems we are confronted with. Yes, bringing a package towards able to be building successful is fine. But that's only building, nothing more. Having the software reacting very bad on machines with not so much resources was / is one thing, another as mentioned the unstable runtime-behavior. So the decision stands! And yes, even though some might not want to have that in mind but Hyperbola is an operating-system for many generations of hardware, not only the newest. Exactly this is also part of our decision-making, when tenacity is not running good. And we do not need UI / UX wizardry and nice effects. We want to integrate functional software doing its work flawless on many installations, as many as possible to be said. tenacity failed within this test direct from the first startup.
Please therefore remember: Yes, your demand may stands for you. Yes, your wished architecture is important for you. But no, Hyperbola has neither the power of helping hands nor the money to act further with so many tests, tracking and more. If "Linux" is going that way, than sure thing: We switch towards BSD for a reasoning as the time for small systems seem to go straight ending.
Human being in favor with clear principles and so also for freedom in soft- and hardware!
Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices: For a life of every being full with peace and kindness, including diversity and freedom. Capitalism is destroying our minds, the planet itself and the universe in the end!
