|  | (Solved) get a later version of Openshot
« Thread Started on Jun 15, 2012, 2:03pm » | |
Is there any way I can get a later version of Openshot installed in SalineOS please.
Some other repo possibly but I've been running pure SalineOS up to now.
I do a bit of video editing with Openshot and I have to use a different distro just to do my editing. 
I've been running LMDE Xfce for about a month and it was impressing me but now it's showing signs of instability.  so it's time to move on.
After running SalineOS for 15 months without any problems I've been spoilt, SalineOS is one amazing Debian thanks to Anthony.

The same way you get anything newer to run on an older system. It isn't easy, but most the time it can be done.
The general work flow is this:
1. Uncomment the source repository for Stable in /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Run aptitude update
3. Run apt-get build-dep openshot
4. Change the source package line in your sources list from stable or squeeze to wheezy.
5. cd to a directory of your choice and run apt-get source openshot
6. You will now have a directory inside that directory with the openshot source
7. Enter that folder in your terminal and issue the command dpkg-buildpackage -b
8. If all goes well then you will have your very own backported package, if not then dig through the build logs and find out what you need. Sometimes you will need to compile some dependencies of the program using the same method as above before you have everything. Keep in mind that you might compile and install a newer version of something that will break your system, should this occur you get to keep both pieces.

E: Build-Depends dependency for openshot cannot be satisfied because no available versions of package debhelper can satisfy version requirements

I think I've done it right but maybe Openshot don't want to play this game.
Thank you for trying Anthony.

Sorry, please forgive an old fool, I found a deb on their launchpad site and it seems to work OK, time will tell.
Thanks for all your help.
