 Programming Lang: C++
 Description     : ossia score is a sequencer for audio-visual
artists, designed to enable the creation of interactive shows, museum
installations, intermedia digital artworks, interactive music and more
in an intuitive user interface.

Sequence OSC, MIDI, DMX, sound, video and more, between multiple
software and hardware.
Create interactive and intermedia scores, script and live-code with
JavaScript, ISF Shaders, Faust, PureData or C++.
Leverage IoT protocols such as CoAP or MQTT, interact with joysticks,
Wiimotes, Leapmotions, Web APIs
and BLE sensors and integrate programs from a wealth of creative
programming languages such as
Structure Synth, Context-Free Art and Bytebeat.
Load any kind of audio or video format and process visuals through
Spout, Syphon, NDI, Shmdata or Sh4lt ;
sonify large datasets with CSV and HDF5 support.


- Git repo: https://github.com/ossia/score
- Software has been around for ten years now and has a community ; it
 is available in multiple other environments - Nix, MSYS, AUR,
Flatpak. I would love for it to be available
 in Debian directly.
- Hopefully there would be no or as little as possible divergence
between upstream
 and the Debian package. I would be happy to have co-maintainership
and sponsorship though.

Kind regards,
Jean-Michaël

Hi Jean-Michaël.

Thanks for the ITP, ossia-score seems very interesting.
I believe ossia-score would fit very well under Debian Multimedia Team
maintenance umbrella. I can help with sponsorship as well as with
initial packaging.

Best wishes,
Andrius

thanks for packaging ossia.
i'd be interested in co-maintaining it, ideally under the umbrella of
the multimedia-team [1].

Hello,
thanks for the interest!

I'm tracking packaging here:
https://github.com/ossia/score/issues/1476

Here are the current build scripts - they try to leverage as much as
possible the system libraries provided by Debian:
https://github.com/ossia/score/blob/master/ci/trixie-system.deps.sh
https://github.com/ossia/score/blob/master/ci/trixie-system.build.sh

Today I made some patches to make it compatible with some of the older
libraries in trixie, e.g. libfmt 9 instead of the latest 11, etc.

I listed here the libraries that either are not available in debian or
that ossia does not use because
the version in Debian is incompatible:
https://github.com/ossia/score/issues/1476#issuecomment-2456190614

What would be the next step?

Kind regards,
Jean-Michaël
