Oh, gosh... a wasted night again?
Dammit, gotta revert that commit, then. I saw ardour spell... saw that
the version is old... website says current is 2.4 ...
Ah! The old ardour spell had this option for compiling the 2.0 beta
version; that totally tricked me into believing that it simply hadn't
been updated since.
You know, having an option for some beta version sounds like (aged)
bleeding edge... not like being the old spell for historic purposes,
being superseded by ardour2 spell. I just did gaze versions ardour
and got the old stuff... next time I guess I have to do a full-text
search in the grimoire to see if there may be another spell giving
me another version of the same thing, rebadged (though indeed
upstream is doing a bit of rebadging itself).

So, let me rephrase the question: Why do we need two ardour spells?
Is the 2.4 series lacking something?
What I've reckoned now is that it indeed installs an ardour2 binary
instead of ardour.
Would people like to install both? Deprecate old ardour?
Gah, I hate unclear upgrade paths.

(I really, really, re-he-he-heally doubt that old ardour would build
with gcc-4.3 anyway.)

Well, my commit was very uninformed then... but I think we should at
least remove the beta option from the old spell, then, right?


Thomas, who smells bitrot here...
