EasyEffects on Fedora need updates

Hello everyone.

Tonight I tried installing EasyEffects to enhance my music listening experience on my laptop. However, I realized that the RPM version of EasyEffects (from the Fedora repository) is quite old compared to the latest release from upstream. I checked the EasyEffects GitHub repository (GitHub - wwmm/easyeffects: Limiter, compressor, convolver, equalizer and auto volume and many other plugins for PipeWire applications) and found version 8.0.3, which is newer than the one in the repository (I checked version 7.2.5 currently and the latest version in Fedora). I hope EasyEffects in Fedora gets a newer version in line with upstream. Special thanks to @vascom as the maintainer of EasyEffects for Fedora if this request is granted. Thanks to @ycollet for his dedication in adding lv2-lsp-plugins to enable the equalizer in EasyEffects.

Hi. I have EasyEffects flatpak installed, it works as expected. I wonder why the RPM version is preferred ?

Please have a look that there is an error for F44 Rawhide.

This might be the reason that it not landed in testing yet. You can see the whole info here:

You can following into the different version clicking on them.

As you can see on the bottom of the package link, there is the information that something is wrong with rawhide, alias the change of dependencies which are not fulfilled.

easyeffects’s builds started to fail in f44 3 days ago

You might create a bug request in bugzilla and also ping (writing an email) to the package owner or group.
I will also try to reach the user while mention him here @vascom , I hope it is him :wink:

p.s.
Ah ok, that’s why the dependencies changed too:

It is the Fedora Flatpak which is not updated too. This will then be the base to make the new Fedora Flatpack (I hope so :relieved_face: ).

The new version (v8.0.0) has had a complete rewrite from GTK to QT so please expect it to take a bit longer to upgrade the package as there will be a lot of new dependencies to bring in.

The older version should still work but if you want the new version then you can use the Flathub Flatpak version which is up-to-date.

Hmmm I want it as RPM packages, not Flatpak app. I use Flatpak too, but I love some apps/packages have better version of RPM release too :slightly_smiling_face:

RPM packages more faster & tighter system integrations

Ok Mister, I wait it longer :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@arturasb Finally I change EasyEffects installation to Flatpak version due to run on startup feature failed on RPM version
