Now seriously, has anybody tested cinelerra in an amd64 with debian? We have been doing some videos, short samples, in an amd athlon K7 and everything went well, but we need to make some bigger videos and we thought that an amd64 would be perfect for that target. Any kind of experience or even a simple thought would be very appreciated. It seems that cinelerra is currently not available in debian at all. There exists a Request For Package (RFP) for it for 4 years it seems. However, they do seem to have an x86_64 rpm package on there site. Kurt

I'm doing another install, but I'm getting confused about the differences between: current/monolithic/mini.iso current/netboot/mini.iso install-images/sarge-amd64-netinst.iso install-images/sid-amd64-monolithic.iso install-images/sid-amd64-netboot.iso install-images/sid-amd64-netinst.iso Am I right in assuming that the mini.iso's in /current/ are the best route to go these days? Thanks, Chris W.
Epiphany-browser is terribly unstable
Hello, The Epiphany browser doesn't seem to like my Debian-amd64 (pure64) system. It crashes very often when I visit different web pages. As an example, it dies after trying to visit http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.acpi.devel/8284 But the browser runs just well in my standard Debian 32 bits (testing). Can you confirm a similar behavior in your systems? -- Pedro

Re: hwcap support for AMD64?

If yes, what's the ld.so search path? What are hwcaps? Do you plan to have seperate binaries for the k8 (amd64) and nocoda (intel) cpus? That's what hwcaps are. I don't know what I want to support :-) For now the library in /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 is compiled using -O2 and nothing else. Neither MMX nor SSE can be used because even if the assembler code is mostly compatible (AFAICR a slight change is needed, but I don't have my code handy and my memory is lousy, so I don't remember what this change is). It doesn't use 128-bit media instructions either, which would be more appropriate in this case (and more of a speed boost). Now that I think of it, it doesn't make much sense to have hwcaps on this platform since it refers practically to a single CPU. I personally don't care for Intel CPUs but if someone is willing to test on that platform (which AFAICT gcc 3.3 does not support) and provide a configuration file (this would require less than 10 minutes for someone who knows what he's doing) I'll gladly include it in the build. Yes, it defaults to 64 bit. Thanks, Marcelo
