Upgrade Avidemux package to the latest upstream release (2.6.x)

Any news on the subject?

Since avidemux has been removed from Oneiric this would be very, very welcome...

@Alessandro: Avidemux was not removed as such but simply had build problems up to today. Just now a fix was released to oneiric-proposed and if things go well it will hit the updates and some point. You can follow the status of that in Bug #831096

@Dietmar: thank you for the update, I already installed the newly released build.
Packaging of the new release will be very welcome anyway :)

The package uploaded in Quantal is very outdated from the upstream one. The 2.5.4 version was released in 2010-11-1. The package version has been the same since Lucid. The latest version should be uploaded. http://sourceforge.net/projects/avidemux/files/avidemux/

Avidemux 2.5.6 is currently available in GetDeb (and I am using it successfully), so I think that there are no particular issues or dependancies in upgrading it in Ubuntu!

I second the petition, please update the package!

Request for packaging Avidemux 2.5.6 from me, too.

@ Allesio Treglia

I have seen that you have assigned on 2011-06-06.

Any progress?

If not it is good practice to unassign.

That's a pity Avidemux is not in Debian archives yet (otherwise it would get auto-synced in Ubuntu): http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=203211

As for now, the easiest way to get fresh Avidemux in Ubuntu is GetDeb: http://www.getdeb.net/software/Avidemux

They are up to 2.6.0 now, changing title.

> They are up to 2.6.0 now, changing title.
Great news anyway.

The title should be "Update package to the latest release". That's it!

No signs of progress here...

Now at 2.6.1, changing title

avidemux 2.5.4 is almost unusable on Precise. Please see bug 1105045.

I've found latest Avidemux 2.6.3 version for Ubuntu 12.x packaged in getdeb.net repository:

http://www.getdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/12.04/?category=Video%20Tools

Could someone test this Avidemux 2.6.3 package?

Some more news: according to Avidemux Forums,
Avidemux 2.6.x GTK interface is quite buggy:

I have tried to make an debian style build of AVIdemux. It works well. Only the QT-Version was tested.
Maybe it helps for an official build. So I'm attaching the diff-file.

You've probably forgotten to tell us what you've taken as a source
to make that diff :)

The file avidemux_2.6.3.tar.gz was used with the diff-file, renamed to avidemux_2.6.3.orig.tar.gz.

The latest version now is 2.6.4

Avidemux 2.6.7-1 crashes using GTK+ interface, and malfunctions if you use Qt or commandline interface. Messages from GTK+ version :

Latest version is 2.6.8

http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/news.html

Any news, if it will be packaged in trusty ?

Is it because of ffmpeg vs libav problem again? Or simply because "The GTK+ user interface does not work. The developers are currently focusing on the QT4 one."?
You can have avidemux-gtk 2.5.4 and avidemux-qt 2.6.8 OR even avidemux(installs 2.5.x) and avidemux2.6(installs 2.6.x)

I've found recent Avidemux version at ppa:centrych/updates repository, see:

https://launchpad.net/~centrych/+archive/ubuntu/updates

Could someone test Avidemux-gtk and avidemux-qt 2.6.10 from ppa:centrych/updates ?

There's 2.6.11 also on getdeb.
