       Today I learned that #ArchLinux-supplied #LMMS builds are lacking #ZynAddSubFX instrument plug-in. That completely breaks 100% of my old projects, which use Zyn for... everything.I asked the LMMS people and they told me to download an AppImage instead of using the repository-supplied builds.Software packaging, am I right?

       @unfa FTR, lmms hasn't seen a release in many years.I think it's a bit unfair to claim that this is an issue of the distribution, if the project is not staying up-to-date with recent developments of its dependencies.It should also be noted that the plugin setup with 32bit wine, as well as the use of Qt internals has always been problematic to build/rebuild.At this point it is probably better to just remove the package.

       @dvzrv IDK, I just installed the repo-providd pakcage of LMMS 1.2.2 on MX Linux and that one comes with ZynAddSubFX:

       @unfa @dvzrv AFAIU:- the version of zynaddsubfx bundled with lmms requires fltk for its GUI- Arch ships fltk 1.4-  lmms 1.2.2 doesn't support fltk 1.4-  lmms 1.3 does support fltk 1.4 but has not been released yet by upstream (they've just started a feature-freeze for 1.3-alpha.2)though there seems to be a separate fltk1.3 package in Arch - I wonder if it'd be possible to build lmms against that one
