I read first about LibreOffice as AppImage portable application Linux format. Yeas, we already happy to have Cinelerra-GG in many stable distributions native package formats, but just wonder if a Cinelerra AppImange portable format would be beneficial for portable and generic testing, use or demonstrations on other/generic (rolling) releases?
This is a good idea for certain applications, probably smaller ones. Cinelerra builds are currently being done with "xen" and is automatic enough now that GG would not like to start something new BUT is not opposed to another builder or developer who would like to implement this. It would be another good means of disbursement. Below is something else another developer could help with.
Previously another viable suggestion from Glen (email Aug. 27, 2018) is as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Not sure if this has been posted or not previously but this looks pretty interesting and several other Linux NLE's (Kdenlive, Openshot, Flowblade, Pitivi, Shotcut) are now being distributed this way. It would appear instead of packaging TARs, RPMs, DEBs and other individual distribution formats a single self-contained 'flatpak' could be created of Cinelerra to be installed across all Distros.. Since Cinelerra already has static builds I would guess much of the foundation for a self-contained format like flatpak would already be laid..?* *https://flatpak.org/ <https://flatpak.org/>* *https://flathub.org/home <https://flathub.org/home>* *-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
