Well Put Rob. Rivendell was meant to be an appliance with a specific
purpose running on CENTOS a pro OS. CENTOS is free so what is the
issue? As such, Rivendell is one of the most reliable and powerful
automation systems on the planet. Why mess with the best. Most of the
high priced competitors who are Windows based will NOT run on a
Windows Server OS. So my suggestion would be that your time could be
better spent in adding new features to Rivendell rather than chasing
after mirages.

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.??
