Comments on: Ear Candy .deb and PPA Available ! http://www.stefanoforenza.com/ear-candy-deb-and-ppa-available/ Stefano Forenza - Personal Blog Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:15:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Stefano Forenzahttp://www.stefanoforenza.com/ear-candy-deb-and-ppa-available/comment-page-1/#comment-34242 Stefano Forenza Tue, 26 May 2009 01:12:56 +0000 http://www.stefanoforenza.com/?p=1513#comment-34242 Ethnopunk: I have a bad news for you. While the previous versions of earcandy used to work on Intrepid and I guess Hardy this new version doesn't. That's because the volume sniffing feature is not supported by the PulseAudio version shipped in those Ubuntu versions. It also has to be said that volume sniffing is a pretty important feature, as many applications just don't behave right, so that's a workaround for many things. Jaunty is pretty stable and pretty nice, think about a (full back up and) upgrade. Ethnopunk: I have a bad news for you.

The blogosphere is awesome! Just a note though: my PPA is not the official Earcandy repository, so the last sentence of the blog post is not technically true. I'm waiting for KillerKiwi to start an official repository and to see how he reacts to my changes to the source. I just uploaded the package to my PPA to make sure it builds properly on the launchpad servers. That was quick! The blogosphere is awesome!

But of course an official one is good, yes. Don’t even a new group either, one person can have multiple PPA’s. But of course an official one is good, yes.

I'm not into PPA's, if anyone is willing to take the burden (or maybe I could ask jason to open a earcandy-dev launchpad group) I thought the same, but it’s great to have it even in a shared PPA.

I don't feel like getting updates to the rest of the programs there. It's not hard either; few clicks on the website and a copy/paste in .dput.cf. Meh, why not make a new PPA for it?
