Package: wnpp

* Package name: cinelerra-cvs
Version : 2.0-cvs
Upstream Author :
Besides the original upstream (Heroine Virtual Ltd [EMAIL PROTECTED])
the people at http://cvs.cinelerra.org/devcorner/cvswrite.html (or the URL
itself) should be mentioned.
* URL : http://www.example.org/
This should be changed to http://cvs.cinelerra.org
This is a branched version of Cinelerra sometimes called
Cinelerra-CVS
I dont think it's useful (at the moment) to have both versions of cinelerra in
Debian. So #78209, #156614 and #239570 could be closed.
OTOH, it's a seperatly maintained fork, so maybe not. What do you think ?
BTW, IMHO it would really be a good idea to change that name. Maintainers of
cinelerra-cvs, what do you think ? Cinelerra has also been renamed in the
past :-)

Be careful, more than 1000 Cinelerra source files do not have a
proper license, a dozen are copyrighted by the MPEG group, another dozen
are under the old ugly OpenDivX license, and you have many additional
strange licensing terms in some files (such as free to copy and modify,
but not to redistribute).
Sam gave me a list with his investigation of the cinelerra-cvs, I have
attached it. What strikes me most, is the lack of licences for 15% of the
whole sourcecode. (1013 out of 6631 (Sam's list from 2004-04-25 / my
cvs-checkout from monday).
Since this investigation is a year old, I would like to ask upstream and the
maintainers of the fork to comment on the current situation. Have those
issues been addressed ? (Yes, i'm too lazy to check this myself now. Thats why
I'm asking the people who should know whether they did that work ;)
Are you in touch with Holger Levsen [EMAIL PROTECTED]? We
talked about Cinelerra at the QA miniconf and I sent him a list of
problematic source files I had gathered. He is in touch with other
people interested in packaging Cinelerra.
I've not really got into touch with the cinelerra-cvs community yet, only
with Herman Robak (who is deeply involved in cinelerra-cvs)... With this
mail I try to address the issues and connect the people who could have an
interest in solving them.
http://www.heroinewarrior.com/support.php3 (real upstream) mentions the fork
on their support/harrassment page, so I tend to think, they're somewhat happy
about it...
Another big problem: Currently the build requirements for the debian packages
provided from cinelerra-cvs (see
http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.html or
http://developer.skolelinux.no/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/external/cinelerra/hvirtual/README.BUILD?rev=HEADcontent-type=text/plain
) include a number of packages which are not in Debian but distributed via
ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ - I hope that it will be possible to
create a cinelerra version, which works with free codecs from Debian proper
only, and still can use additional codecs from marillat.
I know that this most probably will be a long journey or even impossible - but
if this _is_ impossible I would like to spread the word, so there is an
incentive to work on a truly free tool for editing videos.
Please reply if you want to help on this. If this gets started, we could
create an alioth-project to group-maintain cinelerra-cvs, but for discussing
those details it's currently too early IMHO.
regards,
Holger (subscribed to those bugs and cinelerra-cvs..)
