Hello Phyllis and everyone,

I've created a build farm for cinelerra deb and rpm packages. Although it is at an early stage of development, it can build packages on every git change in the main repo. Feel free to use these packages at https://github.com/einhander/cin-gg-packages/releases. Note that releases correspond to a build date, not a git commit date.
Current build hosts are debian 12 and alma linux 8. I'm open to suggestions for a new distro and packages.


Best regards,
Andrey Spitsyn


The following is more an idea and a question from my side:

First a background reference url to and an extract from the manual:
https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/CinelerraGG_Manual/Download_Already_Built_CINE.html
 
  • Download Already Built CINELERRA-GG
  • All of these images are dated 10/31/2020 and are no longer being maintained. They will still work on the version of the O/S in use at that time but will have none of the latest features. You should use the simpler AppImage instead as described previously.
  • If you prefer to not have to take the time to build CINELERRA-GG Infinity yourself, there are pre-built dynamic or static binaries for various versions of Ubuntu, Mint, Suse, Fedora, Debian, Centos, Arch, and Slackware linux as well as Gentoo and FreeBSD. If you do want to build it yourself so that you get the added benefit of the latest checked in changes,
  • The tars directory contains single-user static builds for different distros. This is the recommended usage of CINELERRA-GG because all of the files will exist in a single directory. Generally all of the necessary libraries are built into the static build, but in some cases you may have to install another library that is being called for. To install the single user builds, download the designated tarball from the ./tars subdirectory and unpack as indicated
I've test-installed and had a look this last single-user static build tar ball on current Leap:

As clarified by Andrew in another post, the ffmpeg binary has not been packaged in the dynamic system build pkgs,
https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/pipermail/cin/2023-November/007273.html

and as seen here: no ffmpeg binary (while bdwrite is there) available in the single-user static build tar ball.

So to my question to avoid user efforts to build CINELERRA-GG themselves in cases where the distro system ffmpeg version or libs are not available:
Would it be possible and not at least manageable to bundle also the ffmpeg binary tool with all relevant libs in an optional maintained single-user static build tar ball?


I think ffmpeg website host at least some binary builds?

oh, it was externally hosted

Yes, thanks. I downloaded and unpacked the ffmpeg-6.1-amd64-static tarball.

Checked if ffmpeg 6.1 for example is compiled with pcm_bluray Encoder needed for LPCM on Blu-ray:
ffmpeg -codecs -hide_banner | grep pcm_bluray
 D.AI.S pcm_bluray           PCM signed 16|20|24-bit big-endian for Blu-ray media

That is no pcm_bluray Encoder, only the Decoder.
