title: Cinelerra in Gentoo
---
Cinelerra has reportedly been revamped, and should work faster, integrated with FFmpeg:

http://cinelerra.org/2015/index.php/201 ... newsletter

But it is not available in Gentoo at all at this time:

https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/me ... /cinelerra

(where the sole available versions are:

Code: Select all

20140710
20120707

)

How is that?

Any more info will be appreciated.

A fast search on gentoo's bugzilla give https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539174

It look like to be mainly a man power issue:

Is any of you willing to proxy maintain this?

This is sad. If I didn't work at tutle speed only (when I work, and I can't even work at all always), I'd think about it. Looked up that Project:Proxy Maintainers page...

But I'd need an awful lot of time to pick up how to do it.

I don't want to use any of the, don't know what they're names are, but it's, among others, some M$ ("Microsoft", the old foe of FOSS) program given over to Linux users as well.

I only want true FOSS. And Cinelerra has always been FOSS and (still) is FOSS.

Anyone else missing Cinelerra out there?

Hi guys,

Danny here. I'm working closely with the Cinelerra-CV team.
I just like to point out that cinelerra.org isn't doing anything anymore. Their developer joined Cinelerra-CV in January. Unfortunately, the domain is out of our hands.

The best place for Cinelerra is http://cinelerra-cv.org. We offer two versions:

-Stable CV 2.3 released in August
-5.0 - effectively the development version that was started on cinelerra.org

(and there also is HV 4.6.1 on http://www.heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php but that's not us)

You might want to update your packages to this. It's a pretty simple configure; make thing.
We just received a support request for 4 year old code, that is really bad and hurts our reputation. Since then, we made a lot of progress.
Please don't patch that old mess for GCC 5, just use 2.3 where this is already incorporated.

If someone wants to build 5.0 you can find a GIT repository here:
http://git.cinelerra-cv.org/gitweb?p=go ... ;a=summary

See here, how 5.0 is built for Slackware (sorry, not a Gentoo guy myself):
http://git.cinelerra-cv.org/gitweb?p=sc ... SlackBuild;

I lack the time to support even more packages, so I can't do it myself. But I hope, someone here will find the time. Thanks

So apparently it's THREE branches of the same thing:
https://cinelerra-cv.org/download.php

It seems there is no way whatsoever to have the -GG version, other than compiling it myself, right?

I'd like to add Cinelerra to the list of installed packages for the Gentoo Studio stage4 tarball, so I'm volunteering to make an attempt. At which I could fail, I'm nothing special.

I'm starting with a modified ebuild from Portage for this version: https://cinelerra-cv.org/five/pkgs/src/

Will post the ebuild here if I'm successful. If not, I'll post what I have and see if someone else wants to try.

EDIT:

Looking at the README, the following has to be translated to src_prepare, src_configure and src_install:

./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make 2>&1 | tee log
make install

As I interpret man 5 ebuild, if you declare EAPI 4 or later, the default src_install will likely do what you need for the install phase. Looking at nothing other than your post, I would implement those methods as:

Code: Select all

src_prepare() {
	./autogen.sh
}

src_configure() {
	econf
}

src_compile() {
	emake
}

# Optional
src_install() {
	emake DESTDIR="$D" install
}

This assumes that the archive unpacks with autogen.sh and configure in $S.

Thanks, Hu. I wasn't sure what to do with autogen, so this is helpful.

Hi, I wanna contribute to make working (maybe unofficial) cin5.1 GG ebuild.
I already successfully built source versions located https://cinelerra-cv.org/five/pkgs/src/

What is the best approach to coop with often updated sources and how to relatively download it from this link in ebuild?

Thanks

dead link

I'd like to get us up to date as well but I don't know what the full story is ... are there point releases?

Edit: nvm, I see the 6 release. Lots of bundled libs, makes it hard to decouple. It's worth a shot though.

Hi,

seems there is only old src version here https://cinelerra-cv.org/five/old_pkgs/src/

finally I managed to be on "cutting edge" and get source from git, so there could be something wrong in executable but on other hand there could be fixes not included in dist versions.

here's my beta ebuild (feel free to fine-tune):

I remember trying out Cinelerra... Can't recall why I didn't choose it.
I once settled for Openshot but eventually it was too unstable.
ffmpeg as backend is very tempting. I tend to merge and cut my videos with ffmpeg on cli. :P I've made some hacky bash scripts to make few things easier.

So if someone can push an updated ebuild to some overlay, I'll sure test it out and report if I find any problems. \o
