Hello list,
I don't know if this is the correct location for this topic.
Even that Slowroll may be in a test phase, it would be wishable to have somewhere to communicate and route specific requests for support and enhancements. For example Product name 'Slowroll' in bugzilla, possibly mailing list and forum.
So far I have used product name Tumbleweed in bugzilla regarding ffmpeg-6-6.1.1 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1219259
To do real test of Slowroll on desktops as I want, we need to use it as a full time replacement for Leap 15.5 or Tumbleweed. That is, we need optional access to all additional package repositories for multimedia:/libs, codecs enabled tools and applications from OBS and All from Packman.
And corresponding installation support for Slowroll using OPI, Zypper, YaST https://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories https://opensuse-guide.org/codecs.php https://ostechnix.com/how-to-install-multimedia-codecs-in-opensuse/
I'm going to say the quiet part out loud: why do you need anything from Packman? What is *left* from a multimedia perspective?
Outside of an alternate build of ffmpeg enabling more exotic things and a couple of particularly "special" libraries, we shouldn't need Packman for anything and we should not be encouraging people to install Packman for daily use. Web content should just work these days, as Lubos, Jan, Bjorn, and I have been particularly aggressive about ensuring all the basic cases are covered by default.
We also should be striving for things to be integrated in the main repositories rather than telling people to activate random extra OBS projects, because random repos on people's systems are just asking for trouble in a whole new way.
how would you integrate and make the following applications usable in their non BUILD_ORIG way? - HandBrake - Kodi - ... Cheers. l8er manfred
