Comment 8 for bug 797080

about 4 or 5 years ago I was trying to package cinelerra with the goal of including it in official repos.

the problem was (and still is) about licensing. people of http://www.heroinewarrior.com doesn't really help to resolve the situation and the whole issue was stalled. that was the main reason about creating lumiera.

so is not about technical problems that cinelerra isn't in the repos, but licensing ones.

if you wanna be helpful, maybe you can join cinelerra ml and work on that direction. but be advised, I tried and got tired of all bureaucratic details that some people didn't want to resolve.
