SURVIVING ON PLANET CCRMA, TWO YEARS LATER AND STILL ALIVE Fernando Lopez-Lezcano, nando@ccrma.stanford.edu CCRMA Stanford University ABSTRACT Planet CCRMA at Home [2] is a collection of packages that you can add to a computer running RedHat 9 or Fedora Core 1, 2 or 3 to transform it into an audio workstation with a low-latency kernel, current ALSA audio drivers and a nice set of music, midi, audio and video applications. It is also now a standalone distribution based on Fedora Core 3 which you can install by itself (without a previously running Fedora Core install). This presentation will outline the changes that have happened in the Planet over the past two years, focusing on the evolution of the linux kernel that is part of Planet CCRMA. Drawing Trees Victor Perard Pdf. INTRODUCTION Creating worlds is not an easy task, and Planet CCRMA is no exception.

The last two years have seen a phenomenal expansion of the project. The history of it will reflect, I hope, part of the recent history of Linux Audio projects and kernel patching. A BIT OF HISTORY For those of you that are not familiar with Planet CCRMA [2] a bit of history is in order.

At CCRMA (the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University) we have been using Linux as a platform for research and music production since the end of 1996 or so. Besides the distribution I installed at the time, I started building and installing custom music software in our main server (we were dual booting PCs between Linux and NEXTSTEP, which was at the time the main computing platform at CCRMA). Sound support on Linux in 1997 was a bit primitive, not many sound cards were supported, and very few existed that had decent sound quality at all. Low latency was not a concern as just getting reliable sound output at all times was a challenge. Eventually the sound support in Linux evolved and patches became available for the kernel that enabled it to start working at low latencies suitable for reliable realtime audio work, so I started building custom monolithic kernels that incorporated those patches and all the drivers I needed for the hardware we used (easier than trying to learn the details of loadable kernel modules:-).

At some point some adventurous CCRMA users started to install and try Linux in their home machines, and wanted an easy way to install the custom software available in all CCRMA workstations. I was installing RedHat so I started to use RPM (the RedHat Package Manager) to package a few key applications that were used in teaching and research (for example the Snd sound editor, the CM - CLM - CMN Common Lisp based composition and synthesis environment, Pd and so on and so forth). At first I just stored those packages in a network accessible directory and told potential users, 'there you are, copy the packages from that directory and install them in your machine'.

A simple Web site with links to the packages was the next step, and installation instructions were added as I got feedback from users. Finally the project was made 'public' with an email announcing it in the Cmdist mailing list - a list for users of Snd and CM/CLM/CMN. The announcement happened on September 14th 2001. This changed the nature of the project. As more people outside of CCRMA started using the packages I started to get requests for packaging music software that I would not have thought of installing at CCRMA. The number of packages started to grow and this growth benefited both CCRMAlites and external Planet CCRMA users alike. So Planet CCRMA was never an 'official' project, it was just a side effect of me packaging software to install at CCRMA.
