Arch Linux User Repository

The package is not using the original Merging repository because often it will not work with last kernels.

The package is using this one that has some patches:

git+https://github.com/bondagit/ravenna-alsa-lkm.git#branch=aes67-daemon

If the code is not updated you should post an issue here:

https://github.com/bondagit/ravenna-alsa-lkm/issues

Merging support for Linux driver is very limited.

To use the Merging Ravenna daemon you must downgrade libcurl-compat.

Please select version libcurl-compat-8.5.0-1 and answer Y to put the package 'on hold'

sudo downgrade libcurl-compat

Tested fine in some installations.

Reference https://bitbucket.org/MergingTechnologies/ravenna-alsa-lkm

You must first load the kernel module:

modprobe MergingRavennaALSA

Start avahi

systemctl start avahi-daemon

and edit /opt/ravenna-alsa/merging_ravenna_daemon.conf

with the name of your network interface

After you can access web interface with

ipaddress:9090

This package is out of date.

The following error occurs when starting the daemon:

/opt/ravenna-alsa/Merging_RAVENNA_Daemon: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found (required by /opt/ravenna-alsa/Merging_RAVENNA_Daemon)

Discussion here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2272787

chmod 777 means read, write, execute for owner, group and others. See https://beebom.com/what-does-chmod-777-mean-linux/

I will work on a improvement for the permissions issue for the web interface and get back to you

That file has not the executable flag, only give access permission to all.

Without that web configuration cannot write to a root configuration file.

If you have a better solution, let me know

chmod 777 $pkgdir/opt/ravenna-alsa/merging_ravenna_daemon.conf in line 26 of the PKGBUILD is a really bad idea and a security risk. It make the file writable and executable by anyone on the system. A config file would never need the executable flag.

The package has been flagged out-of-date by enderium with the following motivation:

"Latest version is 1.7. Also, the daemon exist as a separate repo"

However this package is using the repository https://github.com/bondagit/ravenna-alsa-lkm.git#branch=aes67-daemon

This repository has a fix for last archlinux kernels and last version is 1.1.93 not 1.7

Now issue11 has been committed. Uploaded new version

Fails to build stating:

fatal: invalid reference: origin/aes67-daemon-issue11

The Git Branch 'aes67-daemon-issue11' doesn't exist

I've modified the line in the PKGBUILD that state this:

source=("git+https://github.com/bondagit/ravenna-alsa-lkm.git#branch=aes67-daemon-issue11" 'ravenna-alsa.service' 'ravenna_start.sh')

to this:

source=("git+https://github.com/bondagit/ravenna-alsa-lkm.git#branch=aes67-daemon" 'ravenna-alsa.service' 'ravenna_start.sh')

It now builds and installs ok...

I don't know if this is the correct branch to be building from.

If interested I have also made an Archlinux package for this alternative one:
