Ok; I'm sure we could Recommend: freepats and Suggest: fluid-soundfont right now. However, this would break the current config file. I'll upload a debdiff with a primitive change now. The version of fluid soon to be included in Debian (and afterward, sync'd) includes example timidity configurations. -- Timidity shouldn't depend on freepats https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196135 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
