[Bug]: Audacity can not be rebuilt or upgraded.
Problem description
Hi. Audacity can not be rebuilt, probably because of NDK verbump. Build log.
Version upgrading is not possible too because of major changes in Audacity and patches incompatibility.
What steps will reproduce the bug?
./build-package -I -f audacity
BTW did anyone try to port the latest version (3.5.1)? xtkoba commented 3.0.0+ can not work with vanilla wxwidgets, but what exactly does that mean?
There's also general packaging/licensing concerns with newer Audacity versions after they got acquired by Muse Group.
So we should not upgrade the version, right?
I'm not actually sure what the deal with Audacity is.
It is still
Audacity is released under the GNU General Public License version 3 (GPLv3).
Individual source files may be available under other licenses as specified
in those files or an accompanying file. In particular, many source files are
available under GPL version 2 (GPLv2) or (at your option) any later version,
and this is the default license used where no other license is specified.
So I think we can package new versions.
I looked it up, when Audacity was acquired in 2021 they were talking about adding some telemetry to it, but due to backlash it looks like that never got implemented. But the general stink of that incident has lingered over Audacity ever since.
It should be fine to update it.
Ok, I stucked with vst3sdk which seems to depend on "filesystem" C++ feature which for some reason is inaccessible to conan. Probably I am doing something wrong and conan should not be used here at all.
audacity.tar.gz If somebody wants to spend some time on this.

conan requirement could be disabled with -Daudacity_conan_enabled=off option.

If conan is disabled vst3sdk and other dependencies can be added as a packaged dependencies. Then issues with vst3sdk can be patched.
