That's it in a nutshell. The software is developed to run under CentOS, is
not being tested under any other Linux distribution, and it took an
immense amount of time and effort on my part to make it run under Debian
10. Even so, sometimes it will compile and sometimes it won't. I can
unstall Rivendell, blow out rivendell-3.3.0, gunzip the .tar.gz file to
make a virgin rivendell-3.3.0, and recompile the same source code... and
it's even money whether or not it will compile.
That's not something I can tolerate when I have radio stations clamoring
for my attention all day. I had a station call me a week ago; they are
owned by a local university which was sending all its students home due to
the pandemic, and the faculty adviser said they were going off the air, as
they didn't have an automation system. Now, I had an old Debian 6
Rivendell 2.11.0 system I had built several years ago, and offered to run
it for them along with a Comrex Access I had bought for another project
but had not yet deployed. I kept them on the air when they otherwise would
have had to go off, and if I had had to depend on my new Debian system
they would have been off for ten days, because that's how long it took me
to get it working.
Debian 10 is not Debian 6; QT3 will not build under Debian 10, so the only
Rivendell choice available is V3. V3 is far more complicated than V2, has
a lot more dependencies -- what is it with all this Python stuff? -- and
clearly wants to run under CentOS. Yes, if I invest enough time and
effort, I can make it run under Debian... but why bother?

Thats a good question.!!
After running rivendell on centos for about one year, i switched
back to
debian/ubuntu. Why.?
The newer and more software. And i think, Centos is a very good
server
distri, but not for desktops, specifically not for multimedia
desktops.
Too dificult to use special codecs like AAC HE, no ootb export
to mp3 in
audacity...
On my debian 10 is only one problem left. The slow database
access. In
rdlibrary when showing all, not only the 1st 100 carts, in
rdlogedit
when loading a 24h log and moving carts up and down with the
arrows.!
Maybe there is a way to fix.??
