KDEnlive 0.7.3

[Willem]

The version of KDEnlive on Pardus is still 0.6, is KDE4 needed to upgrade to the new 0.7.3 ?
Would be great to use the new functionality like:
    * Clip grouping
    * Creation of rendering scripts for delayed rendering
    * Double pass encoding for rendering (just add "pass=2" to your profile)
    * Track locking
    * Configurable monitor background color for better previewing
    * Web updates: you can now download new rendering profiles from Kdenlive's web site
    * Split audio, allows you to separate a clip in it's audio and video parts
    * Improved compatibility with Kdenlive 0.5 project files

Although I have to admit I cannot immediately find the original bug report I have requested for the new kdenlive version already months ago.
This bug report was not really necessarily, however it might result in renewed attention being paid to it.
As far as I can remember from the bug report there were difficulties for getting this KDE4 port of dkenlive to compile and work properly under the current KDE 3.5.
I have the impression that work on this has been halted and one is waiting for Pardus 2009.

Menwahile you can try to get it compiled and working my making use of Kdenlive Builder Wizard.
I guess that programm is still listed somewhere on http://www.kdenlive.org

From this bug report, quite recently posted:

The new mlt and mlt++ packages and the other dependencies of the new kdenlive
is in pardus/devel but can't be merged to 2008 as they will break ABI/API.

The new kdenlive package is in my playground area:
http://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/playground/ozan/desktop/kde4/kdenlive-kde4/

You can compile it yourself by satisfying the dependencies first. It's all that
we can do for now.

I have sent the kdenlive PISI package maintainer Ozan Çağlayan an email requesting some additional info.
If he replies I will post the answer here.

A really quick answer from Turkey

Yep of course.

The problem is:

The new kdenlive requires the new versions of mlt and mlt++ libraries
but those new versions of mlt and mlt++
break compatibility with older versions. So imagine an application other
than kdenlive which uses mlt and mlt++.

If I update mlt and mlt++ to their latest versions in Pardus 2008
repository, and a user chooses to *only* update
mlt and mlt++ by chance, the new versions of the libraries will be
installed and all the applications that have been
compiled against their older versions will be unfunctional.

It resides here:
http://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/playground/ozan/desktop/kde4/kdenlive-kde4

You have to compile mlt and mlt++ from
http://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/2009/devel/multimedia/tv/

mlt will need frei0r-plugins, you also have to compile it from:
http://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/2009/devel/multimedia/library/frei0r-plugins/

The dependencies which don't have "releaseFrom=...." in pspec.xml don't
need a specific version so
you can install those packages from package-manager.

For compiling the pisi packages, just checkout the repository:

svn co http://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/2009/devel 2009/devel

and then

pisi build 2009/devel/multimedia/tv/mlt/pspec.xml -vd

this will fail if you don't have some dependencies installed. If it
fails, then you install or compile that dependency and then start again.

Kdenlive 0.7.6 is currently in development and should be released on the 8th of October.
