Thanks for all of your work. I occasionally get stuff from the MX-15 repo. Probably some of yours in there too?

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Probably most of the stuff in there, still. We have some more packagers now, though--one's doing the humungous Flightgear backport from Stretch right, and he also does the MX 15 Liquorix kernel backports after I have the OBS build 'em on Jessie first.deborah-and-ian wrote:Thanks for all of your work.

I'll write a guide in the How-To section here on using the OBS for Debian and Ubuntu builds. If the Debian versions don't contain any forbidden characters like "+" in their version string, you can just drop the Debian source packages directly into the OBS and see if they build--that's what I did for most of the 32 packages in the experimental MATE 1.14.1 backport I did there, to speed things up.

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
I just upgraded ffmpeg to 3.1.4 in there, and that'll trigger rebuilds of everything built against it, such as mplayer, mencoder, kodi, dvdstyler, and so on. So they may not be available while the rebuilds are going on--a few hours at the latest.
The guide for doing your own builds and repositories on the OBS is also now in the HOWTO section here.

Just added pithos-1.1.2. It hasn't made it into jessie-backports.

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Updated obs-studio to 0.16.2 and added simplescreenrecorder 0.3.6.
update: had to update the obs-studio build to fix a missing shared library that didn't get installed.

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Yes, I think Debian won't include the Monkey audio encoder for Flacon because of trouble with the Debian Free Software Guidelines. I could see if I can add it to my repo--I've already got Avidemux in there, which Debian has the same issues with.

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Upgraded mpv to 0.21.0 yesterday...but I just loaded ffmpeg 3.1.5 right now, so that'll trigger a rebuild of everything that uses it. Mpy and others will be offline for an hour or two...Edit: OK, all done except for gimp-next 2.9.6, it should finish soon.

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Thank you very much for the extra efforts !
I see you're focusing on multimedia, but how did the Liquorix kernel build proceed? Did it work in the end? I know that building a kernel package "the Debian way" requires some tinkering.
Also, are there any pitfalls regarding the use of OBS for building .debs? So far, I only used Fedora's COPR for .rpms, though that obviously is not compatible with Debian.

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
No real problems with rebuilding a Liquorix kernel on the OBS, but I have to modify some files in the debian folder before regenerating the source files to make sure the headers will require Jessie's gcc-4.9 instead of the original's gcc-5. I've been building them on the OBS for some months now in a separate repository, as well as doing a rebuild of the jessie-backports kernel with the kernel context switch frequency bumped up to 1000 Hz instead of the stock 250, because I heard that's better for desktop use, in yet another repository.
I wrote a rough guide for using the OBS to build Debian packages; it's in the HOW-TO section here. There are a few tweaks that package versions may require because the OBS doesn't see the "+" in a version string and replaces it with a whitespace.

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Would it be possible to include vlc-plugin-samba? After installing the latest VLC I found I wasn't able to access anything on my networked drive. Thanks. Nice to have more up to date programs available.
Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Thank you for vlc-plugin-samba. Unfortunately the snowball effect seems to be kicking in . . .
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
vlc-plugin-samba : Depends: libvlccore8 (= 2.2.4-1jessie1) but 2.2.4-1~deb8u1 is to be installed
Or am I just totally confused here?

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
You'll have to upgrade that libvlccore package, too. The ones in the OBS have jessie in the version, the Debian ones have deb8u1 in them.

Thank you. Finally got things sorted out. Must be having a couple of 'off' days. <sigh>

Re: Hah! Who needs PPAs?
Added qmmp-0.10.5 and qmmp-plugins-pack-0.10.2 in response to a request on Bunsen Labs forum.
Newer versions of qmmp require a more recent version of Qt 5 than we have in Jessie.
