It's been some months, and kdenlive is still listed as orphaned. Anyone know how packages become un-orphaned?

Also, if anyone else is having the same problems, this fork worked for me (the missing dependency is glaxnimate.

I'm definitely an active user of Kdenlive. If you could get it working, that would be wonderful.

I cannot believe I spent two hours learning xbps-src instead of just installing via flatpak...it never crossed my mind.

I did take a quick lock and there only seems to be 2 minor releases behind, 23.04.0 -> 23.04.2 were there any changes/bug fixes that makes you need the latest version ?

[–] Ghast@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, I just need it to start. It insta-crashes with a note about glaxnimate missing.

Oh didn't notice that, I would advise you to open an issue on GitHub then. They should be fast with it :)

[–] Ghast@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It looks like the github bot closed the issue due to lack of testing.

I've commented that the branch works, but it'd be great if someone who understands xbps better could verify that it builds correctly.

however, the "missing component" message should be nonfatal.

Doesn't work for you ?

[–] Ghast@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, I'm afraid it crashes. I've pulled up a VM to check again - same result. It crashes, noting 'mediainfo' and 'glaxnimate' are missing. I can install mediainfo from the repos, but not glaxnimate:

I hit 'okay', and it's gone. Here's the full error message:
