dear Ubuntu MOTU developers,
Among other projects, I'm the current (upstream) maintainer of the frei0r plugin collection and I'm doing my best to follow the correct integration of new versions of our plugins inside distributions, especially Ubuntu and Debian. I'm packaging frei0r plugins for Ubuntu https://launchpad.net/frei0r and I've noticed that in oneiric the package providing frei0r is now: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/gnome-video-effects-frei0r funny enough, the frei0r-plugins dependency on that page points to a 404 http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/frei0r-plugins while following the links of your package, I've arrived to this page http://live.gnome.org/GnomeVideoEffects where it seems to me that the effects applied on the face of Nicolas Christener are coming from EffectTV. From the code I also learn that the gnome-video-effect project is aiming to apply a descriptive meta-layer on plugins from gstreamer, while I don't exactly know where the frei0r plugins are in all this. Despite we are talking about DLO plugins, most applications using them are forced to include a collection in their own source. My reason to write you this mail is double: to understand what is happening to our plugins in Ubuntu and to understand how we can provide users the correct instructions to install frei0r plugins (which are a dependency to many video editing and manipulation applications...) so now my questions to you: - are you really including frei0r plugins as stated on the ubuntu oneiric package? do you know anyone I can contact to solve our package dependency? I tried hard on launchpad, but I'm getting nowhere. - If frei0r plugins are going to be included as a package in Ubuntu, can they please be included with a reference to the upstream source? it is http://frei0r.dyne.org (and not gstreamer) and the website is a good resource of information for users and developers interested. thanks for your attention to details, kind regards -- jaromil, dyne.org developer, http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: B2D9 9376 BFB2 60B7 601F 5B62 F6D3 FBD9 C2B6 8E39
