Hi, I just saw http://kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/pre-compiled-packages/debian-packages and it is very outdated :( I will try to summarize it:
1) "Kdenlive 0.7.7.1 Debian packages are now available in Debian sid (unstable). Melt (MLT) is presently only available from Debian sid (unstable). Do not use Debian testing repositories, which offer older versions of Kdenlive." - That is wrong. 0.7.8-1 is in stable, testing has 0.8.2.1 and sid the current development, but this is changing quickly so it might be better to refer to http://packages.qa.debian.org/k/kdenlive.html You also get an overview here: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pmatth...@debian.org#kdenlive Also it is wrong to refer to unstable instead of testing (if you want bleeding edge), since new releases migrate to testing after 10 days if no critical bugs appear and users needing a manual for installing kdenlive shouldn't use unstable (also not testing, but okay..) - The same applies for mlt where you get an overview here: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pmatth...@debian.org#mlt http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mlt.html 2) Upgrading to unstable should be marked as optional for experienced users, so that users do not fuck up their whole system just to install kdenlive (which is available in stable!) 3) Installing of the "Debian multimedia packages" is a bad idea (if you are not using stable aka Squeeze). They mostly produce big problems (black video in and out etc) and with the next release (Wheezy / current testing) nearly all important de- and encoders are available about the stock ffmpeg/libav from Debian. -- /* Mit freundlichem Gruß / With kind regards, Patrick Matthäi GNU/Linux Debian Developer E-Mail: pmatth...@debian.org patr...@linux-dev.org */
