Ignorant newbie posting here...
I am getting to grips with Supercollider, an audio language/server engine that uses Emacs as its code development environment. I successfully managed to download it using Synaptic, and it seems to mostly work well. Better still would be using the latest build.
Having spoken to a few experienced users on the supercollider forums, I am told that the ideal way to get the latest version is to download and build it from the CVS tree, which gives me a headache and doesn't work.
So do I have a case here for requesting the latest Supercollider CVS build be available for apt-get installation? I don't know how [often] it gets picked up from CVS and put into any Ubuntu repositories. I just need the latest build without the hassle of, er, building it myself. (Is that too lame?)
Many thanks for your attention.
