Hi there:
I'm wondering if there is an easy way for me to modify a metapackage.
Specifically, I'd like the one application that I build from source to
not break the planetccrma-apps metapackage, thereby uninstalling all of
the package's other apps.
Goes like this:
1. I install planetccrma-apps metapackage; Bliss!
2. I get the bright idea that I might want to use a VST plugin with
ardour. OK, this is academic, as I don't have any VST plugins that I
even want to use. Further, I'm very "pro" LADSPA. But still, I gotsta
try it, right!?
3. I remove ccrma's ardour before installing my own build and...
4. Dependencies dictate removal of all planetccrma-apps.
5. Crap!
6. So then I don't remove ccrma's ardour and install my own build right
over top of ccrma's wondering if I'm unclean.
Do I worry too much? Or do I just need to make my own metapackage? Can
anyone nudge me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Michael
