Bug#810788: OpenShot up for adoption



Dear all,

I have just filed #872902 and #872904 to give up the Openshot stack for adoption. I need to prioritize my existing work on the Debian Science and Python teams and did not find the time necessary for completing the packaging for openshot-qt (now under RFP).

To whom who would be willing to take this over, I would say the most difficult part has been done (the packaging of the backend libraries libopenshot-audio and libopenshot). The frontend part is a Python application (openshot-qt) with some embedded Javascript libraries.

A word of caution however. First, I'd recommend to keep the whole stack in experimental until the application is thoroughly tested. There was a point where I had everything working, but the application looked pretty bad for some reason. Another warning concerns the tendency of upstream to break the API / ABI on every release, so consider doing updates in batches staged in experimental first.

I'll be happy to assist anyone who'd be willing to step up.

Best regards,
Ghis
