I can probably remove imagemagik, since we arn't converting icon sizes anymore.

made a silly little mistake with lv2 in the install phase.

[PowerUser64]

Nice work! I'll test this out soon.

Thank you all for your hard work! 🫡

Thank you for making the update request <3

Okay! I've tested this in 4 DAW's (bespoke synth, reaper, ardour, and bitwig) as well as the standalone version. Here are some notes:

• lv2 seems to fail to load everywhere
• reaper cannot load any version (no idea why, probably be reaper's fault)
• bespoke cannot load the vst3 fx version
• making a basic patch in vst3 version in bitwig has a crash when editing text (I'd guess this isn't plugdata's fault).

plugdata lv2 (instrument)	plugdata lv2 (fx)

If you can figure out why lv2 isn't working, that would be great. Otherwise, this is looking good!

The LV2 loads in Reaper for me, and I was able to input text in Bitwig with no crashes, may I have your configuration to be able to reproduce the issue? For reference, I am running everything on nixpkgs-unstable.

[l1npengtul]

I can also edit text within Bitwig.

[l1npengtul]

I can also load both plugins (VST3) within bespokesynth.

[PowerUser64]

Interesting, I guess it's a problem with my setup somehow? Not sure why LV2 doesn't run on my end.

By the way, you should think about adding yourself as a maintainer to this package. There aren't many maintainers for audio applications, and you seem to have good knowledge of the things it takes to wrangle them into Nix.

Thank you! I have a bunch more derivations written up that I need to get merged, do you mind if I request reviews from you when I open PRs for them?
I'll also add myself as maintainer and squash the commits now.

[PowerUser64]

Sure, go for it! I can't guarantee that I'll have time to look at everything, but I'll do what I can.

Also, I'm @PowerUser64:matrix.org on Matrix if you want to message me directly about anything.

Upstream does not specify GPL3-only vs. GPL3-plus. Seems okay to leave as is for now.
