Hi all I'm returning to implementing alternatives rather than providing an upstream patch at this stage. There is only one binary in this package. The only other files are an icon, desktop file and a Qt translation. Is it permissible to package only this binary in RPMFusion and have it require the Fedora package? I can provide a launcher script in /usr/bin which does `readlink %{_bindir}/qtractor` so that the desktop file in the Fedora package will work for both. The Qtractor About dialog states explicitly whether MP3 support is disabled or not, so its easy enough to determine which had been launched by the desktop file.
