NOTE: The KXStudio repos are being reworked in a new setup, not all packages are available to install yet.
This section describes all the meta-packages available in the KXStudio repositories, splitted by type.
In a tree-like view, the meta-packages are setup like this:
|
or |
|
The main meta-packages are Audio, Audio-Plugins, Graphics and Video.
The Audio-Plugins meta-package is also split into plugin categories, for anyone that wants more plugins, but not actually more applications.
The 'meta-all' package recommends 'meta-restricted-extras' and 'meta-audio' recommends 'meta-audio-plugins'.
Depending on your distro these might be treated as dependencies.
Audio plugins packages that include several formats (like drumgizmo that includes LV2 and VST) or standalone applications (like calf-plugins)
are not part of the specific 'meta-audio-plugins-*' packages.
This is because installing those will install additional plugin formats and/or full applications.
To ensure, for example, that you get all possible LV2 plugins, install 'meta-audio-plugins' and 'meta-audio-plugins-lv2'.
The 'meta-audio-plugins-collection' package is an alternative to installing all plugins at once.
If you're the kind of person that only wants to install the best plugins, consider installing this package first before installing other audio meta-packages.
This way installing 'meta-audio' will not pull 'meta-audio-plugins-ladspa', 'meta-audio-plugins-dssi', etc.
