The gentoo package of cinelerra community version was named
cinelerra-cvs in the past. As it's no longer cvs and "original
cinelerra" (hv version) has been removed long time ago, we've
now renamed the package to plain cinelerra.
We had a discussion about that (and cinelerra-cv was suggested),
but for me, two reasons spoke for cinelerra:
a) other distros use this name as well
b) cinelerra community version is the only cinelerraversion
maintained today.
I want people to get something when they type in emerge
cinelerra

Given that there is no other cinelerra package available for
Gentoo, I think it's perfectly reasonable (fair and right) to
use the name "cinelerra" for the only cinelerra package that
exists. However, if the system supports it (and I imagine it
does) it'd probably be best for this to be done through some
kind of aliasing mechanism - just like you can probably install
something called "kernel" and get "kernel-2.6.19.123.foo", maybe
there could be a package called
"cinelerra" that currently gives you "cinelerra-cv" but could be
easily switched to some other cinelerra at such time as there is
one.
The situation of Cinelerra for Ubuntu makes me think at this issue
again.
Since long time Ubuntu has packages for both CinelerraCV and
CinelerraHV. And now we can enjoy even an official HV Ubuntu package.
Personally I'm really in favour for differentiating the versions on
every distro using different names:
'cinelerra'
'cinelerra-cv'
For distros with no 'cinelerra' package, I like mskala's suggestion of
automatic switching to 'cinelerra-cv'.
What are the cons of this proposal?
