eawpatches (also known as eawpats) provides a set of Gravis patch files suitable for MIDI audio synthesis. It is more complete than the freepats package, but since many of these patches are of unknown origin, they cannot be distributed by Debian.
This utility makes it possible to build your own personal Debian package of eawpatches.
- fakeroot
- wget or curl
- unzip (optional)
To use this package, run the make-eawpatches-package command. This will
attempt to download eawpatches, and create a Debian package (.deb file) of
its contents.
The Debian package can be installed with the command dpkg --install.
Keep in mind that eawpatches contains proprietary files, most of which are without any licence. Download and use at your own risk.
