Thank you akirad for your information below, which is very helpful! Now I also
wonder:
* In the packages, some say "fake package" in the description; does this mean
it's a "wrapper" or "container" for other packages and *should* be
installed, or
that it is a compatibility trick that should *not* be directly installed?
* Are the qt/mov file problems likely to be the same in cinelerra as in the
"xt"
version - in other words, should I consider going back? (I'm a hobbyist
having
*lots* of fun playing with Cinelerra & Blender - not a pro - and really
don't even
know for sure if the problem existed before my xt upgrade or not...)
* I think it's not possible to run both cinelerra and cinelerra-xt on the
same
machine, is that correct?
Thanks for all the packaging improvements; I'm sure this is very time
consuming,
and it is much appreciated!
Sincerely,
MikeM
