packages missing from 3.0b3
Hi guys!
I really hope that it wouldn't be too late to add a few more packages to 3.0- 3.0b3 is already ~100MB over fitting on a CD so why not take advantage of some of the extra room remaing on a single layer, single sided DVD by adding a few of the following to make 3.0 a more comprehensive AV distro?
I was very pleasantly surprised to see libdvdcss2 is included with 3.0 - I really wasn't expecting that! That makes dvd95 and dvdrip logical inclusions so we can make good use of it. I was also most pleased to see Blender, Rosegarden, synfig, inkscape but the REAL SHOWSTOPPER omission for me was k3b. Every 64 studio user will want to burn lots of discs and k3b still has no serious competition. k3b isn't fully usable with the extracodecs and lame packages too.
I've decided to split the list up into packages that are available in the repos and those that aren't:
Missing apps from 3.0b3 In repos: (alphabetical)
avidemux
devede
dvd95
dvdrip
gimp-gap
gimp-gutenprint
gnome-alsamixer
k3b + extracodecs
lame
nautilus-image-converter
sooperlooper
soundconverter
specimen
vlc
Missing apps not in 8.04/64studio repos:
lmms 0.4.3
winff
cinelerra
cinepaint
kdenlive 0.7.2
handbrake
w32codecs or w64codecs
Get all them in and we have the Linux AV distro to end them all!
Now I've inspected the package list I've got to try actually try using 3.0 but its looking good so far!
