[PlanetCCRMA] [Planet CCRMA] : Jack and Freebob issues on Fc8

Hi Fernando,

I took a look to the kwizart packages. I found them here but I didn't try them:

http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/testing/8/i386/

They seem to install an alternative libraw1394 that doesn't overwrite
the official Fedora one (it has a "compat-" prefix in the lib
filename). There was a recent Fedora kernel upgrade so the modules
there are not anymore usable, unless you rebuild them of course:
http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/testing/8/SRPMS/

Pure Juju and Fedora kernel doesn't work with Freebob for me but I
haven't tested the newer Fedora kernel which seems to address some
issues related to Juju.

Cheers,

Hector
