Re: Packaging Update

 

Hi Foster,
I'm going to start working on the Debian packages now that I have published
in the packaging bzr branch:
https://code.launchpad.net/~openshot.packagers/libopenshot/packaging. And
once that is done, I'm going to move onto building the RPM package. I hate
to redo the work you have already done, but I need to keep moving on the
packaging. Please contact me as soon as possible, if you can share the work
you have already completed.

Thanks and I hope all is well!
-Jonathan
