This message is intended for packagers of LiVES
(http://lives.sourceforge.net). Please forward as appropriate. Please let
me know if any addresses should be added or removed from this list.




Please NOTE: since LiVES 1.1.3, it is now *highly recommended* that LiVES
be built with libpulse support.


NOTE 2: IMPORTANT ! if you are building LiVES using ubuntu dpkg,
a change is needed to the "rules" file, see here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lives/+bug/481085/comments/5
failure to do so will result in badly broken builds.
(debian dpkg does not have this problem)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all,
another user reported a different crash-on-startup bug with 1.3.8, so I
have fixed this and released 1.3.9. It pleases me very much that LiVES is
getting tested a lot more recently.


Here is the CHANGELOG for this version:

Fix possible crash on startup bug.

Packaging notes (please read CAREFULLY !):


1) Mandatory dependencies include *at least*:
GTK+ (>=2.14) + development libs
gdk-pixbuf-loaders + development libs
gettext + development libs

mplayer with jpeg/png output support
mencoder with jpeg/png input support (preferably with x264 and dirac
support) imageMagick
perl
sox (*with* libsox-fmt-all !)


2) *Highly* Recommended build-dependencies include:
libpulse, libjack, libSDL, mjpegtools, libogg, libtheora, libdv,
libraw1394, libavc1394, liboil and libasound2.

(For compiling you should have development versions of these libraries
installed. Check the output of ./configure carefully for missing optional
dependencies.)


3) *Highly* Recommended runtime dependencies include:
xwininfo, pulseaudio/libpulse, jackd, libSDL, mjpegtools, libogg,
libtheora, theora-bin, libvorbis, libasound2, libdv, mkvtoolnix,
libmatroska, ogmtools, dvgrab, libraw1394, libavc1394,
libdv2-apps/libdv-bin, cdda2wav, lame, python, x264, liboil.

Note:
libpulse is mandatory if compiled with libpulse-dev
libjack is mandatory if compiled with libjack-dev
ditto for libasound2, libdv, libmjpegtools, libraw1394, libavc1394 and
liboil.




4) libtheora packages should install the binary "encoder_example" (or
"theora_encoder_example"). Please communicate this to your libtheora
packager !!!!! (Note some distros now have a theora-bin package. Thankyou
!)


5) you may wish to install/build a package for frei0r before compiling
LiVES. LiVES can use all of these plugins. Frei0r can be downloaded from:
http://www.piksel.no/frei0r/snapshot/frei0r-latest.tar.gz

For more information on frei0r, see: http://www.piksel.org/frei0r

Note: frei0r packages are currently *not* endian-safe, thus they should
not be dependencies on little endian architectures (e.g. ppc)
