Added Fotoxx 17.04, now that it no longer requires a newer GTK 3 than Jessie can provide.

Ported over audio-recorder 1.9.7 from its PPA, and brought up the build procedure to modern standards as far as I know how. The PPA's debian folder seems rather antiquated and clunky compared to today's Debian policy.

Always wondered if the OBS supported Debian Testing repos.
I would exchange everything I know in exchange for half of what I don't.

You're supposed to be able to add a "Debian:Next" (stretch) repo, but you have to be an "advanced" developer. What that means or how to get that status, I haven't been able to find out yet.

Figured out that build failures of Avidemux since 2.6.18 are due to it now requiring a newer libvdpau-dev--that wasn't caught by the cmake build-depend checking at the start of the build. So I updated libvdpau, and avidemux 2.6.20 build succeeded. Since ffmpeg also builds against libvdpau, that means that ffmpeg and 34 other packages that build against ffmpeg libraries also had rebuilds triggered. It should shake out within an hour.

Apparently the openSUSE user services, including the Build Service that hosts my repositories, suffered a security breach in the user authentication, and they have been shut down while they determine exactly how bad it was.

I built a Jessie version of the security bugfix VLC 2.2.6 in its own separate repo. If it also eventually makes it into Jessie like 2.2.5, the Debian version will upgrade over mine.

@stevepusser . . . There is something I've been meaning to ask you about your multimedia repo. You know that in the past, I have always felt comfortable using it. Now with systemd in the picture, I 'm unsure whether it would be compatible with Devuan. Although MX installs with sysvinit, it does so according to Debian's instructions which iiuc does nothing to address systemd 'entanglements'. I assume that would also be true of your repos. Could you please clarify the status of systemd 'entanglements' in MX and more importantly, in your personal repo? Thanks.
May the FORK be with you!

The packages in this repo are built against the Jessie virtual machines that the OBS spawns for each build, which I would assume includes systemd. That said, I would say that most, possibly all, of the packages won't drag in any systemd packages. You could always add the repo to a Devuan install and simulate the install of any packages you want to make sure that's the case for those.

I'm not the only packager for the MX repo, so can't comment about packages that I haven't added to it. I try to remove any unnecessary systemd dependencies when I can, but as far as I know, the packages in our repo will work with it, but not require it.

Added Zoneminder 1.30 for Jessie and Stretch. It's tweaked by Debian to use the "real" ffmpeg instead of Jessie's libav, which is why I have the Jessie version in this repo. I have the ffmpeg build here disabled for Stretch, so that version just builds against Stretch's. Zoneminder isn't in Stretch at all, but I haven't been able to find out if it's a problem with the package or the packager.
