Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: avidemux
It may be too early for that, but I'm filing the bug prematurely because
2.4 isn't very far away.
Just wanted to notify the packagers that version 2.4 will require
changes in packaging because it now includes three separate binaries:
avidemux2_cli, avidemux2_gtk and avidemux2_qt4.
I think one should be able to install each binary separately.
The composition of the package can be broken apart as follows:
avidemux (transitional) -> avidemux-gtk
avidemux-cli
avidemux-gtk
avidemux-qt
all built from a single source.
One more thing to consider: version 2.4 includes two alternate build
systems, the old autotools-based and the new cmake-based. Neither is
perfect: the old one needs some juggling with ./configure options to
build the qt4 version, and the new one doesn't see faac and x264, and
tries to build without them.
I would advise packagers to start building preliminary packages of
2.4pre2, to be fully armed when 2.4 final arrives.
