Side notes:
- this package, along with the mlt++ library (ITP following), is needed for
Jahshaka to be able to load a wide range of video files. It is otherwise
really limited.
- the 0.1.2 release should happen early next week, as told by a maintainer,
- 2 binary packages are produced: libmlt0 and libmlt0-dev, both providing
the generic libmlt/libmlt-dev.
- As everything is ready, or about, on my side, as soon as 0.1.2 is out, the
packages will follow.

I don't know if Christian has done anything on his side.
I was about to threw the towel since my time has once again reduced
with my 2nd baby...

For jah, the problem was mainly IIRC some deps like lame which can't
be satisfied in Debian and thus mostly limit (or render unuseful) the
software.

I'm thinking about renaming these to RFP...

@Christian: more update on your side?
We can exchange a bit privately (biere et pizza à montbonnot ?) to
make a report and pass the hand...

Libraries needed by jahshaka (openlibraries) still doesn't compile.

Though I think this app. is really needed on Debian, I'm throwing down
the towel since I've not anymore the needed time to work on it.

IIRC (not fresh in my mind), there was many problems such as:
- openlibraries don't build
- mlt/mlt++ contains non portable portion of code (assembly),
- jahshaka depends on lame (optional but there is a loss of feature if
not used) and a modified version of ffmpeg
- jahshaka itself wasn't much stable when I was working on it.

Thanks to Amaya for pushing me to update these reports and to
Christian for his help in trying to make these packages available in
Debian.

Finally, I would be pleased to help a bit somebody to give some love
to this and to get in touch with the upstream teams.

Christian might also have some beta packages available in his repos,
that can serve as a base.

Importing my comment from the duplicate bug:

I too second the need for an updated packaging for Feisty/Gutsy, one that hopefully could be included in the repositories.

Packages for Dapper are already available. Use the Ubuntu installer script from the project homepage or add "deb http://repo.jahshaka.org/ubuntu/dapper/ binary-i386/" to your third party repository list and then install the package "jahskaka".

They are however in no way stable for use on Feisty... I had to rewrite this comment just now because I installed started the above Jahshaka version (on my Feisty system) and X crashed when I tried to even browse for a media file to load.

PS To Jahskaha developer's: why not use Launchpad to track bugs etc? Your current forum-based solution makes it hard to see what the current bug situation is.

Just a note that this should not be forgotten. - At least for Hardy - or the following release.

The team seems to be working now after a pause on version 3:

Just want to add my vote for this as well. Video editing is the only thing I need to go back to Windows for. Kino just doesn't cut it. Jahshaka looks promising.

Hi all,

is there a plan to package jahshaka 2.0 under Hardy/jaunty 32/64 bits ?

It's a powerfull software that left a lot under Ubuntu since Dapper where it used to have a deb package. even developpement seems to be stop, an 3.0 release is announced since severals months, the 2.0 is already interesting.

Jahshaka is like adobe after effect and it's the only free software that can provide realtime 3D effects for video post-production.

Many thanks,

I think the project needs to be active to be considered for inclusion in universe - and Jahskaka doesn't seem to be moving forward since about a year when the latest news was posted. Sourceforge releases has not been updated since 2006.

Bellegarde (laurent-bellegarde) wrote :

Hi all,

the trouble with this project is that developpement is not active, or very few but the 2.0 is a stable release and could easily be use to produce good after effects as this one :

http://laurent.bellegarde.free.fr/bbc_films/

- rendu1 has been done with cinelerra 2.1 under hardy 64
- rendu2 has been done with jahshaka 2.0 under windows XP pro

So as I left Windows(c) since year 2000, it's difficult to imagine there is no GNU/Linux solution to avoid using windows(c) for creating after effects with only free software.

I could understand that this package could not be in universe because the project is non active, so to help user to get the software in 2.0 release available in ubuntu hardy/jaunty, we could help by hosting all the deb packages needed to install it in lprod.org repository, we have a dapper/hardy/intrepid/jaunty one.

The trouble that i can't create the good deb/sources and I can't success the compilation too as I'm a user and not a developper or a packager. We need help about this work.

Should I ask the getdeb team to help me ?

Bye, thanks for answer,

Laurent

Now the development seems to run again, so we need a packaging!

Why? Most companies flood the market with small sdhc camcorders, these devices did not use .dv files over firewire. For .dv i have kino and kdenlive but these programs cannot handle the mpg files from the new devices. There is no cinelerra and no jashaka deb package for ubuntu.

If i need a bit more video cutting, i have to look for a windoze solution. But why when booth programs are available in source and rpm? Please package them, i read many tries ended up in lib-hell and strange version troubles.
