Update 11 June 2017: The OBS has added support for Stretch builds, so I will go through and see what packages I can also upgrade to that platform--Stretch already has many of the backports in it already. I will probably change the names of many of them to remove the "bpo8" and instead use "obs" or the like, so I can build both Stretch and Jessie versions from the same source upload.
Update: 9 Dec 2018: All OBS repos seem to need a new key, as the old ones have been marked expired, so just repeat the step to download and install the Release.key file.
Warning: now that Stretch has frozen, some of the packages in this repo are going to be newer versions than Stretch has available, and may interfere with an in-place upgrade from Jessie to Stretch. The workaround is to remove the offending package (such as my mpv which is newer than Stretch's 0.23) and then reinstall the Stretch version after the upgrade. I also plan to add Stretch builds to the repository as soon as the OBS makes it available to users.
Edited to reflect current situation: I've added packages to this Jessie-backports-multimedia project that are related to multimedia in some way, or require the newer ffmpeg, such as the development GIMP. Many of the packages are not available in Debian at all, such as DVD Styler, ClipGrab, or QMPlay2.
Instructions for adding the repository:
https://software.opensuse.org/download. ... ackage=mpv
Example for Stretch (run as root when instructed, sudo users can become root with "sudo su")
Buster users need to replace "_9.0" with "_10".
As root, add the repo:
Code: Select all
echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevepassert/Debian_9.0/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:stevepassert.list
Code: Select all
rm -f Release.key && wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:stevepassert/Debian_9.0/Release.key -O Release.key
Code: Select all
apt-key add - < Release.key && rm Release.key
apt-get update
I don't know if anyone else wants information on how to use the OBS--it's free and rather easy to set up and use in a web interface, and you can get as many free repositories as you wish.
