Lots of changes to list here. As usual, some new libraries have been
added and there have been improvements all around. Of special interest
is that we can now erase most of our local patches because they have
been imported upstream.
Primary goal for the desktop project:
Given a NetBSD CD and a reasonably modern x86 computer, make it
possible to install a useful desktop system in under 15 minutes,
responding to only a few prompts in the process.
The package collects the required software for the project.
It's the gnome based version, a KDE based version is planned in the future.
PulseAudio is a sound server for POSIX and Win32 systems. A sound server is
basically a proxy for your sound applications. It allows you to do advanced
operations on your sound data as it passes between your application and your
hardware. Things like transferring the audio to a different machine, changing
the sample format or channel count and mixing several sounds into one are
easily achieved using a sound server.
This meta package provides the applications for managing PulseAudio.
