Look, I don't care who makes the packages, I want them in the official
debian repostiories, not sitting on debian-multimedia.org.

Seems like now we are back to square one.

Thanks a lot guys.

OK. How long does approval normally take ?


Also, you should have checked the file list with me first. Libraries like:

./usr/lib/lives/plugins/playback/video/lives2lives_stream.a

./usr/lib/lives/plugins/playback/video/SDL.a

./usr/lib/lives/plugins/effects/realtime/weed/*.a


are redundant, because these are all dynamically linked at runtime, so
only the .so and .la versions are used.

You may want to bear this in mind for the next release.


Regards,
Gabriel.

I hope so. Somebody mentioned the icons also last time - I can't believe
anybody would complain, they are 16 x 16 pixel (8 in total) bitmaps used
for play/rewind/stop/pause etc buttons. But I have added the thanks in to
the debian/copyright file now.

I was following the shinanegans with MS and Novell at the time, and was
keen to take a stand against their supposed patent dealings.

Like I said, all files are GPL/LGPL 3 or higher.

The libOSC code which I distribute with LiVES is not written by me, and is
under a BSD license. This is also mentioned in debian/copyright.

I am not too bothered about this really. I have now changed the license of
the document to GNU FDL, and the standard itself is now GPL.

(Incidentally, that brings me on to another point, off topic, but I have
always wondered why the FSF don't introduce the GPSL (GNU Public Standards
License). I intend to ask RMS about it the next time I see him.)




Anyway, back to the main point, I hope we can get moving on this soon and
get LiVES into the official debian repositories.

As was mentioned initially, indeed LiVES offers great ogg/theora suppor

There was some code in colourspace.c which was by another author, it was
basically minimal code (setting some conversion values in tables). All of
this has now been rewritten from scratch. As far as I know the copyright
file is up to date. If anybody finds something missing, let me know and I
can add it in.

All of the LiVES code is licensed under the GPL v3 or LGPL v3. In fact, I
made the change on the day that the GPL v3 was released, and am proud of
that fact. During the transition there may have been one or two files
which were mistakenly left as GPL v2 or higher. I believe all such files
have now been updated. If you find any files marked GPL2 or higher, please
let me know and I will update them.

LiVES will run just fine without mjpegtools, transcode and mencoder.

In fact, 3 years ago I made a version which had no non-free dependencies.

For example, the program is able to encode to ogg theora/vorbis without
any of the above dependencies.

If you ship the program without mjpegtools for example, and the user
selects the mjpegtools encoder, they will get an error message informing
them that they need to install mjpegtools to use that particular encoder.
Hence there is no need for a separate README file.

Gabriel.

There is no need to guess, LiVES will inform you if/when you select an
encoder plugin which has missing requirements.

Also, if the user tries to open (import) a file which has no support in
mplayer, they will see an error message on the terminal informing them
that mplayer is possibly missing a library.

LiVES 0.9.1 has been released. This package offers full support for 
various open source codecs, e.g. ogg theora, dirac, and mng.


I'm getting a bit tired of waiting for debian to get its act together. 
We could have a nice .deb of LiVES with ogg theora as the default codec.

 Description : Linux video editing system

LiVESis designed to be simple to use, yet powerful. It is small in
size, yet it has many advanced features. It is part editor, part 
VJ tool. It is fully extendible through open standard RFX plugin scripts.


LiVES lets you start editing and making video right away, without
having  to worry about formats, frame sizes, or framerates. LiVES
will let you start creating your own tools, utilities and effects
via the built in RFX builder.

LiVES is aimed at the digital video artist who wants to create their
own content, the video editor who wants to create professional looking
video, and the VJ who wants to captivate with spectacular images.

Great, I mentioned this to Andrea. You might want to wait for the next 
version though, which will feature support for encoding to the open 
source ogg theora and dirac codecs. Theora could be set as the default 
for agnula/debian ;-)
