  Description     : PortMidi - Cross-Platform MIDI IO

PortMidi is a Cross-Platform MIDI IO that supports both real and
virtual midi input and output devices.

I recently learned that future releases of Hydrogen Drum Kit (v1.3.x
series) will depend on the new PortMIDI series.  The most recent
stable release of Hydrogen (1.2.1) depends on portmidi >=2; however,
it's still easy to patch Hydrogen to use Portmidi 217

To be honest, I'm not sure if a new source package will be required,
but I'm supposing that it will be necessary because we've had
portaudio "217" since 2016, and I assume that there will be many
breaking changes.  If this is not the case, please reasign this bug to
src:portmidi and make it a standard request for new upstream version.

Regards,
Nicholas
