[opensuse-buildservice] How do I go about packaging Bitwig Studio?
I've never really tried packaging anything before, but I'd really like to make Bitwig Studio available. I've successfully converted Bitwig Studio from .deb using alien. I also found a Fedora guy who has been building RPM for it, and I'll attach his spec file. If I understand his .spec, it'd require the inclusion of the .deb which if I remember we aren't allowed to put proprietary software in OBS. This is a very impressive piece of software, so I'd like some guidance. -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Project Member and Advocate since 2011 http://www.opensuseadventures@blogspot.com

Yes, I understood that. However we have packages for many other non-free softwares. It seems that they had used some sort of downloader script to pull what is needed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Non free as in can be distributed without fee, warranty etc but only pre-compiled (as in a blob etc). That is a product that is sold as a commercial product, there is no free download link except for a trial version. I don't see any links relating to distribution. What your indicating is that I can download, say the fluendo codec bundle for example and re-distribute that? Don't think so ;) -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° LFCS, SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 GNOME 3.10.1 Kernel 3.12.28-4-default up 2 days 10:01, 3 users, load average: 0.27, 0.20, 0.17 CPU Intel® B840@1.9GHz | GPU Intel® Sandybridge Mobile -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

No, not at all. The version you download without cost is the same as the retail and requires a license key to unlock as the full version. Not remotely the same. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Ahh, OK your talking about the Trial version? If so, I would imagine you need to contact them to ask if it can be re-distributed/re-packaged, then I would guess as for it to be in a non-oss development project citing the approval from them... -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° LFCS, SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 GNOME 3.10.1 Kernel 3.12.28-4-default up 2 days 20:36, 4 users, load average: 0.24, 0.30, 0.31 CPU Intel® B840@1.9GHz | GPU Intel® Sandybridge Mobile -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

The trial version is unlocked with a key. But yes. I've sent them an email for permission. So, assuming permission is granted it can then be added to OBS? If not, I'll just add it to packman but I'd like it to be a little more mainline. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

Barring exceptional exceptions, software generally needs to be OSI compliant. Is there source and is it libre? Then yes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
