Description Arcady Genkin 2002-02-03 00:08:46 UTC
The three ebuilds (alsa-driver, alsa-lib, and alsa-utils) posted at the url:

http://cdf.toronto.edu/~agenkin/alsa-0.9.tar.gz

install latest 0.9 version of alsa drivers.

I'll take this one if no one objects.
Comment 2 Arcady Genkin 2002-02-03 01:38:18 UTC
Here's a chaser:

I wasn't sure whether it's kosher to run the "snddevices" scripts, creating 
the appropriate device nodes, from the ebuild script for alsa-driver.  Perhaps 
that script should even be installed somewhere for the user to run after the 
portage installation. 
Comment 3 Tod M. Neidt (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-02-03 23:04:40 UTC
Commited to CVS.
Initially packaged masked for further testing.
The alsa-lib-0.9.0beta10a package no longer supplies libasound.so.1, but rather
libasound.so.2  This will break everthing previously linked against libasound.so.1
(And I mean everything, I could not get Gnome desktop to start without
recompiling everything against libasound.so.2)  Fortunately, libasound.so.2
seems to be backwards compatibile with libasound.so.1, so I added a symlink from
.2 to .1
This needs further testing, particularly for desktops and apps other than Gnome.

The good news is that I am listening to my mp3's, so it works.

Added version munging, ebuilds should be version independent if subsequent betas
are released and removed src_unpack hack.

Thanks Arcady!
