Yes package repos are great, but they come with two inconveniences in the context of GNU/Linux distributions : - There is many (or at least several) major GNU/Linux distributions to package for ; it would be great to better work with downstream packagers: if you have time to help on this front, it would brilliant. - Kdenlive has heavy dependencies on other projects : like MLT and Qt. Regarding MLT, it is already packaged in the PPAs (https://launchpad.net/~kdenlive thank you Vincent :-) ) ; but packaging Qt is a tremendous work and a too recent version would risk breaking other applications in the user's system. That's why many "isolated" package systems have appeared in the last years (snap, appimage, flatpack, etc.). Cheers, Camille
