poudriere VS ardour

poudriere is a powerful port/package build and test system with a focus on package production and bulk building for FreeBSD. This easy-to-use, parallelized solution relies solely on the base system and can build the entire portstree. Supports building packages for different FreeBSD versions, and ensures compatibility with any package management tool by organizing packages in an identical layout to official mirrors. qci considers it a favorite tool.

95% of the time the only thing you have to do is install a package and enable the service. So what's the value in having a centralized repository of pre-configured images? Sure, if you want to roll out an image to thousands of servers - make an image using poudriere image](https://github.com/freebsd/poudriere/wiki/poudriere-image.8-devel) and send them out. It's not really any easier - and is definitely not better - to use an image that someone else made.

> pkg is an amazing system that beats dpkg or rpm

What's your reasoning for this statement? I find poudriere[1] handy for compiling one's own packages from ports configured to fit one's goals, but I see nothing outstanding in plain pkg.

It has issues when there's an IPv6 address up (even link-local) but no egress v6 routing. It would hang and wait for a timeout when an IPv6 address is selected from resolved addresses. After a timeout - pkg connects to v4 endpoint but if there's several packages to be downloaded, it can fall back to trying to connect to v6 with the next package.

On the other hand, I've recently had Ubuntu 22.04 register Python-related packages which were not successfully installed, resulting in all dpkg/apt/apt-get commands failing due to py3clean script throwing trackbacks, until /var/lib/dpkg/status was edited and these packages were in fact installed and then removed.

poudriere-devel has a bug where it tries to delete the incorrect zpool when building a zfs image fails. There's a pull request that addresses it, but I have no idea when that will get merged. I also don't know how long it will be before there's a new poudriere release after it gets merged. The current ports version was last updated in 2022-09, so it could be months.

I use this with Poudriere to speed up my FreeBSD pkg host building multiple Sets of ports https://github.com/freebsd/poudriere/wiki/ccache

Also jails is a terrific concept with poudriere and bastille

> I think a lot of people starting with open source kinda expect that dedicated contributors will start to swarm around the project. In reality, a large majority of projects, even many quite prominent ones, are driven by a very small core, often just the project founder.

I'm the lead author of Ardour [0], and I'd very much like to hear more about your frustrations, since over the next 1-2 years, paying attention to non-European musical culture is one of the things I hope to focus on during development. You can reach me via the email address in my profile, or maybe use our forums at discourse.ardour.org. Thanks.

One extra detail, something I've learned from 20 years of working on dragging all kinds of objects around the GUI of Ardour [0]: handle ALL button press and release events as drag events where there is no movement.

I am aware of the 'Real Tone Cable' however I am curious if this is what I should be buying if I also intend on recording my playing in a software such as 'Ardour'

If you don't care about exotica like async or signal safety, and just need to see the callstack from arbitray points, this can do the job without C++23:

(2 different implementations, one for POSIX-y systems with the execinfo.h header, and one for Windows)

The demange() function is elsewhere.

I just loaded an instance of samplv https://samplv1.sourceforge.io/ into the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), Ardour https://ardour.org/ .

If you produce music using a DAW, my preferred is Linux's Ardour: http://ardour.org

Ardour is a free DAW that recently added a clip launcher. I've never tried it.
