Re: Packaging Update

 

Hi Foster,
Thanks for the update! I have already built the initial cx_Freeze script
(freeze.py in openshot_qt), and am testing it now. Works pretty good for
the most part. I have also obtained a free, open-source license to bitrock
InstallerBuilder, which I'm playing around with. It might be useful for
Windows or Mac, but probably not so much for Linux (since we really need to
have source packages on Linux).

Anyway, I would love to help you fix these linking issues, so let's get all
these packages committed into the Bzr packaging branch
<https://code.launchpad.net/~openshot.packagers/libopenshot/packaging>, so
others can start to work on them along side you (including me).

Or, if you don't have time to figure out Bzr, feel free to send me a tar
file with all your packages, and I can sort through them and organize them
into the packaging branch. Either way, I'm happy to help

Thanks again!
-Jonathan
