[Ardour-Users] Compiling Ardour ?

[Josh Parmenter]

I'm constantly amazed (and saddened for nando) about the rate of  
change in Fedora. On Mac, I was quite grateful for the Leopard delay.  
I guess the only solution (if you want slower development) would be to  
switch to Windows where OS changes take many years.
