hi,
some important packages are missing in the Debian official repositories
cinelerra, avidemux
the offical recommendations say:
Please do also consider to entirely remove unofficial third-party
repositories from your /etc/apt/sources.list file. The few more
features
added to the packages provided there do often not compensate for the
breakage they may cause.
So, how am I supposed to get these packages. The only way I see
is compilation, but is there any chance that they will be officially
supported by Debian one day?
best regards,
It's your choice. Debian-multimedia has some packages that I really
like. The last time I installed them there were no conflicts (no
official packages were uninstalled) and things seem to be working OK. At
other times, I found it necessary to uninstall the unofficial packages
due to conflicts.
You also could try generating your own packages for the programs you
want. This can be a frustrating and time-consuming process the first
time you try. There is quite a learning curve. However, if you can
succeed in compiling against the official packages, you could ask for
your package to be included in the official repositories.
