I'm preparing a diff for this, and will let you know once it is ready for testing. mfg Tobias On Mon, 25 May 2020 at 06:12, Tobias C.

You really must have both to do anything. I would like to see the CLI and GUI ports become options in a single port instead of separate ports. If the base port is renamed, I'd prefer avidemux-base. Since gtk and qt4 are no longer options, I'd suggest avidemux-gui until/unless they are merged into a single port. I have started re-writing the descriptions with my first attempt included. The current one is terribly old, not even mentioning the most popular muxes, MP4 and MKV. and mostly ignores the fact that it is now really an editor. Proposed pkg-descr: Avidemux is a free and open-source transcoding and video editing software designed for easy-to-use video editing and video processing. Avidemux also offers a command-line interface. Avidemux is capable of non-linear video editing, applying filters by to video, and transcoding video into various formats. Avidemux can also insert audio streams into a video file (muxing) and seperating streams (demuxing). Most popular codec and muxes are supported. Matroska (MKV) is the default. Most codecs allow full tuning capabilities for trading off between speed and accuracy via the GUI or CLI. At this time, you must install multimedia/avidemx, multimedia/avidemux-plugins, and multimedia/avidemux-cli and/or multimedia/avidemux-qt5, the latter two providing user interfaces.

Perhaps the avidemux port should be renamed to avidemux-libs, and then a new avidemux meta-port could be created with basically just an OPTIONS screen where your pick which parts you want installed?

It a bear of a port because it used to include tar files of all of its dependencies due to ever changing APIs that kept breaking the build. It also makes for a very messy build that actually is separate builds with a bash script to drive it. As a result, the creation of four ports was probably somewhat natural. It's still a bad idea and I have twice worked with committers who wanted to rework it, but people are busy. Tobias was very helpful to get this port back into the system after it had been deleted. I will submit an updated pkg-descr that at least lets people know that they need to install at least three ports. I hope to do that tomorrow. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkober...@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Arguably it's broken. The official documentation expects it to be a single installation, and I don't see any reason to split avidemux into five ports (there's also avidemux-qt4). What good is the avidemux port on its own? Or the combination of avidemux-qt5 without avidemux-plugins? Just finding out that you need all this stuff is a pain. I'd recommend folding both of these ports, and probably avidemux-cli, into the ports avidemux-qt4 and avidemux-qt5. At the very least there should be a warning in avidemux/pkg-descr, but I don't think that's the right approach. Thoughts? Greg -- Sent from my desktop computer.

Oddly, it just installs libraries and the like. You must also install avidemux-plugins and either or both avidemux-cli and avidemux-qt5. If you only need the GUI, you can skip avidemux-cli. The command to run the GUI version of avidemux is avidemux3_qt5. The CLI interface is avidemux3_cli. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkober...@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
