Hi everybody
I'm Florent, formerly working in Tryphon which used to package Rivendell
for Debian and Ubuntu, which became a really difficult task due to the
need of supporting Qt3. Tryphon has closed last year, but here in
France, I know plenty of users are using Rivendell every day with
pleasure. They felt quite lonely when we decided to stop Tryphon, so I
had the idea of a french group of Rivendell Users, involved in
federating resources, ideas and competencies around the software suite.
Rivendell-FR was born. It is still very small, but I'm sure it will grow ;)
And to begin with, I'm pleased to announce that Ubuntu packages are
available for *testing*. Here is the procedure for installation :
1) add the repository
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
wget -q -O - https://apt.rivendell-fr.org/release.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://apt-rec.rivendell-fr.org/ bionic main contrib non-free
beta"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rivendell-fr.list
sudo apt-get update
2) Install packages
sudo apt-get install rivendell rivendell-server
(don't worry, it downloads half the Internet. That is perfectly *normal*
:D )
3) reboot in order to take the new group into account
sudo reboot
(it may be sufficient to logout and log in again, please let me know if
you made the test)
4) restart rivendell service
sudo systemctl restart rivendell
(for a reason I still don't understand, my audio resources were empty if
I did not restart the service)
At this point, almost everything should be functional.
DISCLAIMER !!!
For the time being, I did NOT compile libhpi, so audio science cards
will NOT work with Rivendell. But well, it is still in beta. I'll keep
on working on the debian/Ubuntu packaging now that I have something working.
I hope this will fill a gap. Well, at least on this side of the Atlantic
see, I'm sure it will ! I hope this will help in testing the beta and
release the final version. I'll try to produce packages for every
releases. Please let me know if you have comments or requests concerning
packaging.
For example, I suggest extracting pypad lib for the main sources,
because, AFAIK, packaging of python libs on Debian and Ubuntu is much
easier when it is alone, with its own source package. I'll give a try
and let you know.
Best regards
Florent
