Re: [Audacity-devel] tarball generation patches

[Martyn S. <mar...@gm...>]

Hi there

My upgrade to the current Ubuntu failed me somewhere along the way. 
All the upgrades appeared to have installed correctly and then it came 
to the 'restart computer' bit and colinux just seemed to sit there 
consuming resources and not getting anywhere.  I'm not sure if it was 
in the shut-down or start-up but I suspect the start-up as when I 
killed it and tried PortableUbuntu again, same thing.  It seems like 
colinux is a dead project, latest release 0.7.9 (which I have) dated 
April 9, 2011.

I think that I shall give up with this route, I've wasted too much 
time on it.

I am inclined to remove
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Developing_On_Linux_Under_Windows
(which I was going to update) but it would be better if it could be 
changed to a method that works with current Linux releases.  Any ideas?

Thanks again for the advice.
Martyn
